- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to determine the most effective light intensity for flash electroretinogram (ERG) examination in
conscious dogs using ERG equipment with a contact lens electrode with a built-in LED light source. ERG was performed on the bilateral
eyes of ten clinically healthy Miniature Schnauzers at 6 different intensities (0.025, 0.079, 0.25, 0.79, 2.5 and 7.9 cd⋅s/m2) after dark
adaptation for 20 min. With the increase in stimulus intensity, the most significant increase in a and b-wave amplitudes were observed
at 2.5 cd⋅s/m2 (p<0.05). As the intensity of light was increased, the implicit times of both waves significantly decreased. Therefore, the
most effective intensity of stimulus was 2.5 cd⋅s/m2 in the conscious Miniature Schnauzers. This suggests that this procedure would be
applicable for evaluation of retinal function in conscious dogs, especially in high-risk patients.
