As part of the Diopsys^® University™ E-Learning Webinar series, Frank Taranto will discuss in depth the Diopsys ffERG/Flash Plus Photopic Negative Response (PhNR)  Vision Test and report interpretation. Get objective information on retinal ganglion cell function to help you evaluate early signs and symptoms of Glaucoma. Early detection and treatment can protect your patients’ eyes against serious vision loss. What do you do when your other testing is questionable, borderline, or unreliable? Diopsys® ffERG/Flash Plus Photopic Negative Response (PhNR) vision tests provide you with objective information on retinal ganglion cell (RGC) function.These test results  help you identify disorders that affect the innermost retina, including glaucoma and other forms of optic neuropathy.^1-6 Diopsys^® ffERG / Flash Plus PhNR testing is performed in a lit room without the need for refraction.
