Abstract
PURPOSE: To correlate and compare retinal function measured using multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) with microperimetry in intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD).METHODS: Sixty AMD participants underwent multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and microperimetry testing in one eye, and 44 control participants were included to provide normative values for each test. Thirteen hexagons in the central three rings of a 103-hexagon stimulus grid for mfERG and retinotopically matched points on microperimetry were chosen and converted into standard deviations (SDs) away from that of normal participants (Z-score) to represent the magnitude of measured functional deficit and to allow ..
