Focal PhNRs have diagnostic ability in detecting early glaucoma with high sensitivity and specificity, especially when the combined criterion is used.

The reduction of the full-field and focal PhNR in eyes with ONA indicates that both originate from the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons. The findings also indicate that focal PhNR amplitudes can be used to assess focal damages of both the RGCs and their axons in eyes with ONA.

A depolarizing pattern of the cone ERG responses was seen in Pro347Leu Tg rabbits. The enhancement or preservation of the ON-bipolar cell response in the ERGs contributed to shaping the waveform in the Tg rabbits. In this model, the functional alterations in the ON-pathway took place before the deterioration of cone photoreceptor function.
