[The scotopic electroretinogram and age].
1. Electroretinographic examination according to recommendations of the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) was implemented in 115 healthy subjects of different age groups. 2. No significant difference was recorded in the results of men and women. 3. The amplitudes of all investigated retinal responses decline in a linear fashion with age and their peak latencies are prolonged. The mentioned changes are statistically significant even if changes of 0.5 to 0.8% per year are involved.
