Gold foil electrodes: a two-center study of electrode reliability.
Using the routine techniques employed at our two centers for recording pattern electroretinograms and a variety of methods, we investigated the reliability of the gold foil electrode over repeated uses. We found no significant difference between the pattern electroretinograms recorded with new electrodes and those that had had such extensive use in patients that they were believed unsuitable for further clinical use. We therefore continue to recommend the gold foil electrode for repeated use.
