Reappraisal of a short-wavelength-sensitive (S-cone) recording technique in routine clinical electroretinography.
The recording of blue cone (S-cone) responses as described by Gouras and MacKay was slightly modified and incorporated into our routine ganzfeld electroretinogram protocol. We found a mean S-cone amplitude of 5.0 microV (range 2.9-6.9 microV) and a mean S-cone implicit time of 41.5 msec (range 40-46 msec). Separation between the combined red and green cone (L-M-cone) response and the S-cone response was obtained with blue flash stimuli on a yellow adapting background.
