Popis: Single flash scotopic and photopic electroretinograms (ERGs) were recorded from the same subjects using six types of corneal electrode, in order to assess their relative effectiveness. In addition, the ERG from a lower eyelid skin electrode was recorded to give an indication of the degree of attenuation to be expected from a skin electrode. On average, the scotopic ERG recorded from the Burian Allen electrode measured 471 microV (100%), and relative to this the b-waves recorded using other electrodes were as follows: JET (89%), C-glide (77%), gold foil (56%), DTL (46%) and skin (12%). Under photopic conditions the order was the same and the interelectrode proportions similar. The b-wave amplitude recorded using the Burian Allen electrode was 125 microV (100%), and with other electrodes was as follows: JET (93%), C-glide (78%), gold foil (60%), DTL (60%) and skin (14%).
