Correlation between electroretinography, foveal anatomy and visual acuity in albinism

ConclusionsAmplitude of mfERG does not correlate with visual acuity in any ring in patients with albinism. The slope of the change in amplitude from central to peripheral rings on the mferg is significantly different in albinism patients versus controls whether or not nystagmus is present. The decreased slope of change in amplitudes from center to periphery of the macula in albinism patients indicates changes in macular topography that are more important to visual deficits than the foveal depression
