Electroretinography of short-wavelength-sensitive cones with a LED built-in electrode and its normal values
Tóm tắt
To record electroretinograms (ERG) produced by short-wavelength-sensitive cone mechanisms (SWS-cone ERG), the authors used three kinds (blue, green, and red) of light-emitting diode (LED) which were built into a contact lens electrode assembly. The LEDs were used as both stimulus and background light sources. ERG was recorded using blue LED after 10 min of yellow light adaptation produced by green and red LEDs. Duration of photo-stimulation was either 2 or 100 ms. ERG recorded in normal human subjects showed two positive waves with 2 ms photo-stimulation. Amplitude of the former positive wave (b1-wave) was attenuated when the luminance of yellow background increased, and the latter positive wave (b2-wave) was attenuated when the color of photo-stimulation was green or red. These findings suggest that middle-wavelength-sensitive and long-wavelength-sensitive cone mechanisms generated the former positive wave (b1-wave) and SWS-cone mechanisms generated the latter positive wave (b2-wave). Ratio of b2-wave-amplitude to b1-wave-amplitude with 2 ms photo-stimulation measured on 39 normal subjects ranged from 0.5 to 2.0. It was concluded that this three-colored LED built-in electrode was useful for recording SWS-cone ERG.
