AB  - In this study we show how the Pattern ERG (PERG) can be used to distinguish 
      between optic nerve and retinal disease. Records from eyes with RBN and delayed 
      visual evoked responses are compared with those recorded from the normal fellow 
      eyes. In optic nerve disease there is a selective reduction of the later negative 
      component of the response. PERG's were also recorded from patients with mild 
      diabetic retinopathy. These were divided into three groups on the basis of the 
      delay in their Visual Evoked Potential (VEP). The amplitude of both positive and 
      negative components fall with increasing severity of the disease thus showing 
      that the abnormally long delau in VEP found in some cases is due to retinal 
      disease rather than optic nerve disease.
