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 PERG. PERGs 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 of the PERG fall with increasing severity of the disease thus showing 
      that the abnormally long delay in VEP found in some cases is due to retinal 
      disease rather than optic nerve disease.
