Abstract

To observe the effect of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) with infrared fundus camera on subsequent dark adaptation and the Ganzfeld electroretinogram (ERG), the ERGs of 38 eyes with different retinal diseases were recorded before and after ICGA during a 40-min dark adaptation period. ICGA was performed with Topcon 50IA retina camera. Ganzfeld ERG was recorded with Neuropack II evoked response recorder. The results showed that ICGA did not affect the latencies and the amplitudes in ERG of rod response, cone response and mixed maximum response (p>0.05). It suggests that ICGA using infrared fundus camera could be performed prior to the recording of the Ganzfeld ERG.
