A new electrode for electroretinography.
Clinical electroretinography is an uncomfortable, disquieting experience for a patient because of the contact lens electrodes used. Such electrodes are either expensive to buy or difficult to make. An aluminized Mylar electrode performs satisfactorily, elicits minimal patient apprehension or discomfort without topical anesthesia, is simple to make, and is disposable.
