Detection of early diabetic retinopathy using visual electrophysiological tests

ConclusionWith a limited sample, we found that 56% of newly diagnosed diabetic patients with normal fundoscopy had defective RPE-photoreceptor interaction. Further studies are needed to obtain more precise point estimates of these EOG abnormalities, and to determine the conversion rates into more advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy.
