title: The pattern evoked electroretinogram associated with elevated intraocular pressure.
abstract: Electroretinographic responses to pattern-reversal stimuli (P-ERG) were recorded in eight patients with protracted elevation of intraocular pressure. Pressures of bigger than 30 mm Hg result in marked amplitude reductions in the P-ERG. The observed changes probably reflect the impaired function of retinal ganglion cells caused by decreased oxygen supply.
