PR-ERG components (P50, N95 peak time, amplitude and N95:P50 amplitude ratio) and PR-VEP components (N75, P100 and N145 peak time and amplitude) in the better-seeing eye were compared between the groups, and association with BCVA was examined.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The VLBW group showed longer N145 peak time compared to the control group (mean difference 6.8 ms, CI 2.0 to 11.5, p = 0.006) and lower N95:P50 amplitude ratio (CI - 0.3 to - 0.1, p = 0.003). Otherwise, both groups showed similar electrophysiological waveforms. No relationship was found between electrophysiologic responses and BCVA. BCVA was normal in birth groups and showed no group difference.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The responses in the primary visual cortex (N75 and P100) to visual stimuli presented to the better-seeing eye were similar in adults born preterm with VLBW and term-born controls. However, in the VLBW group, there was an indication that subtle electrophysiological deviation may exist at a higher cortical level (N145) and in the ganglion cell response in the macula. These significant differences were not related to reduced visual acuity.</p>","PeriodicalId":11207,"journal":{"name":"Documenta Ophthalmologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144172972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
