Multifocal electroretinogram changes after panretinal photocoagulation in early proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Macular function was decreased 3 months post-PRP in patients with early PDR, as indicated by decreased amplitude of the mfERG, whereas the functional and anatomical parameters were stable. The mfERG served as an objective tool for measuring retinal function and predicting visual outcomes post-PRP in eyes with early PDR. A higher amplitude in the mfERG correlated substantially with a better visual outcome post-PRP. Further multi-center longitudinal studies with robust designs including different PDR severity levels may reveal additional objective after-effects of PRP<b>.</b>
