Open AccessImaging video plethysmography shows reduced signal amplitude in glaucoma patients in the area of the microvascular tissue of the optic nerve head
To measure parameters of the cardiac cycle-induced pulsatile light absorption signal (plethysmography signal) of the optic nerve head (ONH) and to compare parameters between normal subjects and patients with d...

Short-term fluctuation of intraocular pressure is higher in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome despite similar mean intraocular pressure: a retrospective case–control study
Higher levels of short-term fluctuation of intraocular pressure (IOP) are characteristic of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). However, it is not known whether they are just a side effect of the higher mean int...

Open AccessLongitudinal stability of the diurnal rhythm of intraocular pressure in subjects with healthy eyes, ocular hypertension and pigment dispersion syndrome
The diurnal fluctuation of intraocular pressure may be relevant in glaucoma. The aim of this study was to find out whether the timing of diurnal fluctuation is stable over the years.

Quadrant pattern ERG with SLO stimulation in normals and glaucoma patients
• Background: The pattern ERG (PERG) is one of the promising methods for investigation of glaucoma and may detect it at an early stage. The purpose of this study was to test the usefulness of the scanning lase...

Differences between pattern-evoked electroretinograms obtained by a scanning laser ophthalmoscope and by a mechanical mirror system
Pattern electroretinograms were studied in response to stripe patterns of different spatial frequencies and intensities in the pattern-onset and reversal mode by means of a scanning laser ophthalmoscope and a ...

Utility of the color pattern-electroretinogram (PERG) in glaucoma
Pattern-onset electroretinograms (PERGs) with red-green color contrast (CC) and green-“black” luminance contrast (LC) stripe patterns (0.3 c/deg) were recorded in a group of 80 control subjects and in a group ...

Alterations of saccadic eye movements in myotonic dystrophy
Saccadic eye movements were examined by means of infrared reflection oculography in 8 patients having myotonic dystrophy and in 65 control subjects. In 7 patients typical alterations of the saccades could be o...

Spatial and spatiotemporal contrast sensitivity of normal and glaucoma eyes
The spatial contrast sensitivity (CS) to static patterns was tested in the central retina of 156 normal subjects. It showed a decrease above 50 years of age at all spatial frequencies tested which was slightly...

The pattern-evoked electroretinogram (PERG): Age-related alterations and changes in glaucoma
Pattern-onset electroretinograms (PERGs) were studied in 147 normal subjects of different ages (14–79 years) and in 110 eyes of 65 patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The responses showed an increase (
