ELECTRORETINOGRAPHY IN EARLY DIABETIC RETINOPATHY DIAGNOSTICS

The predictive effectiveness of electroretinographic indices with regard to appearance of macular microaneurysms (MA) was investigated in patients suffered from second type diabetes. The magnitude of deteriorations of oscillatory potentials did not significantly correlated with the time-course of MA appearance (r=-0.48; p>0.05). At the same time the magnitude of the deteriorations of scotopic glial index demonstrated significant correlation with the time course of MA precipitation (r=-0.85; p<0.05).
