Oscillatory potentials in early diabetic retinopathy

Abstract: To study the oscillatory potentials in early diabetic retinopathy the authors developed a new power measurement based on the fast Fourier transform. Three groups totalling 46 patients were examined, varying from nonvisible to preproliferative diabetic retinopathy. The oscillatory potentials expressed in microwatts were measured under scotopic and photopic conditions. The data of the three groups are compared with those of a group of 22 normal individuals. The oscillatory potential power measurement appears to … Show more

“…The power measurement was regarded as a reliable quantitative method for detecting diabetic retinopathy at an early stage [9]. Van der Torren [9] observed a reduced OP power in the patients with early diabetic retinopathy, but did not show a definite statistical analysis in their findings. A significant reduction of the total power of the OPs was found in the BDR group in dark and light adaptation in our study.…”

“…For example, the high-frequency wavelets recorded on the ascending limb of the electroretinogram (ERG) b-wave (oscillatory potentials), thought to reflect inner retinal inhibitory circuits, are smaller in those with diabetes with no evidence of background diabetic retinopathy as defined using photography [4] or fluorescein angiography [5]. A reduction in amplitude of the response to a contrast reversing pattern checkerboard (pattern ERG) has also been observed in eyes that do not have overt clinical signs of retinopathy [6].…”
