Intraoperative diagnosis of retinal function.
During three-port vitrectomy, we stimulated local areas close to the macula with an intraocular glass fiberoptic. We were able to record a focal electroretinogram in 10 patients with severe diabetic retinopathy, which allowed a more precise evaluation of the retinal function correlated to the pathologic changes caused by the diabetic retinopathy.
