title: [Clinical application of electro-retinographic C-wave].
abstract: We studied electro-retinographic c-wave in several fundus diseases. Compared with the normal controls of 65 eyes, the amplitude extinguished and lowered respectively were 71.4% and 25% in retinal detachment (28 eyes), 72.5% and 22.5% in tapetal degeneration (40 eyes), 30.8% and 38.4% in uveitis (13 eyes), 18.2% and 50% in high myopia (22 eyes), 8.6% and 44.3% in diabetics (70 eyes). We conclude that the ERG-C-wave can be a very simple and practical method for helping the clinical diagnosis in several obscured fundus diseases, if the patient cooperates.
