ffERG with Photopic Negative Response: Objective Analysis of Ganglion Cell Function

A webinar with Mark Latina, MD  Join Dr. Mark Latina, MD as he discusses objective analysis of ganglion cell function using Diopsys^® ffERG/Flash Plus Photopic Negative Response (PhNR) Vision Test. This test provides doctors with objective information on the function of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons.¹ Through evaluating how these cells are functioning, Diopsys^® ffERG / Flash Plus PhNR results can provide information on “stressed” cells at a subclinical stage, when they have become dysfunctional but are still alive.  Eye care professionals now have an objective tool to assist in making appropriate and earlier treatment decisions which can help to slow progression of the disease, preserving sight for their patients.
