In the clinical setting, the flicker ERG is usually obtained using a train of strobe flashes. The effect of the disease process is then either derived from an examination of the characteristics of the flicker ERG waveform, such as peak amplitude and implicit time, or from narrow-band filtering of the ERG at the stimulating frequency. However, the interpretation of the flicker ERG can be problematic in cases of retinal disease in which patients have unusual waveform shapes. An example is the double-peaked 30 Hz flicker ERG waveform reported by Miyake et al. (1987) in patients with \"incomplete\" congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB). We recently identified two patients with typical retinitis pigmentosa (RP) who showed also showed a double-peaked flicker ERG waveform, indicating that this response abnormality may be found in other types of retinal disorders besides incomplete CSNB. The purpose of the present study was to characterize the harmonic components of the flicker ERG in these RP patients in order to better understand the origin of this anomalous flicker response as well as the flicker ERG of normals.","PeriodicalId":428257,"journal":{"name":"Vision Science and its Applications","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125112667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A neglected variable in the analysis of psychometric data is the steepness of the psychometric function, which is usually assumed to be fairly stable across conditions and observers and therefore to play little role in determining the measured sensitivity levels and their disturbances by eye disorders.","PeriodicalId":428257,"journal":{"name":"Vision Science and its Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116218969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hemianopic field loss causes problems in mobility and navigation as well as reading. Patients frequently complain of bumping into obstacles on the side of the field loss and getting bruised on their arms and legs. The number of such accidents decreases with adaptation to the condition, presumably because patient are getting more cautious and use head and eye scanning techniques to avoid the pain. Despite such improvements many patients continue to suffer from the effects of limited visual field. Of great concern to many patients and vision rehabilitation personnel is the question of driving with such field defect.
