Sample Abstract:
THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF THE SHORT WAVELENGTH CONES (S-CONES) AND ITS APPLICATION TO CLINICAL DATA
Chris Hogg, Magella Neveu, Amy March
Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK
Purpose: To determine the ERG frequency response of the short wavelength cones and investigate the possibility of using the frequency characteristics to enhance isolation of the response.
Methods: S-cone ERGs were recorded at a range of luminance levels and frequencies, under both light and dark adapted conditions and also using two stimulus wavelengths.
Results: Using standardised clinical luminance values produced a frequency response curve in excess of that normally associated with rods and, depending on the measured points, a tuned response curve for the s-cone specific component.
Conclusion: The stimulus frequency can be used to enhance the isolation of the s-cone response from that of any light adapted rod contribution.
