Popis: Purpose: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is generally considered a disease of the macula. However, recent studies show peripheral retinal lesions are prevalent in patients with AMD, indicative of a disease process that is more widespread. Full-field electroretinography (ffERG) measures an electrical response, not only from the macula, but from the entire retina. We wanted to study the ffERG response in eyes with AMD. Methods: We performed full-field electroretinography (RETI-port/scan 21, Roland, Berlin) in 13 patients with early AMD, 25 patients with late AMD and 24 individuals without vitreoretinal disease as a control group. Dawson–Trick–Litzkow fibre electrodes were used. Statistical analysis was performed and a p-value
