title: Tips and tricks for successful electroretinography in children.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The role of electroretinography in pediatric practice, and to offer suggestions for successful electroretinography recordings in children.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Electroretinography can be usually be obtained in infants without resorting to general anesthesia. When general anesthesia is required, modifications to standard protocols can often reduce total anesthesia time without compromising the clinical value of the study.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
