Abstract:

Multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) is a tool that can provide topographic objective functional assessment of the retina. With the use of cross-correlation techniques, mfERG allows the stimulation and recording of multiple electroretinographic responses from individual locations in the macula over a short period of time. This article aims to provide an update on the clinical applications of mfERG and will focus in particular on studies published in the last 2 years. The clinical applications of mfERG for both acquired and congenital retinal diseases will be discussed.
