Popis: Purpose: To determine the characteristics and cause of the increase in the amplitude of flicker electroretinography (ERG) after cataract surgery. Design: Prospective, observational clinical study. Participants: Thirty patients who underwent cataract surgery. Methods: Flicker ERGs were recorded with the RETeval system without mydriasis. The central macular thickness (CMT) was measured by OCT and the aqueous flare value (AFV) by laser flare-cell photometry. These examinations were performed before surgery and 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after surgery. Linear regression analysis through the origin was used to compare the correlations between the relative changes in flicker ERG amplitudes and the changes in the CMT and AFV at different times after the surgery. Main Outcome Measures: The amplitude of flicker ERGs, CMT, and AFV. Results: The mean amplitude of flicker ERGs increased significantly by 31% at 1 week after surgery (P
