Flash electroretinography in the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). 2014

Sonia E Kuhn, and Diane V H Hendrix, and Michael H Sims, and Daniel A Ward, and Michael P Jones, and Katherine H Baine

Photopic and scotopic flash electroretinograms (fERGs) were done on 12 adult captive anesthetized bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) following a complete ophthalmic exam. The b-wave amplitude in the bald eagle exceeds that seen in other species when using a similar protocol. This data may be used clinically as a reference for bald eagles undergoing fERG evaluation for retinal disease or as a preoperative screening tool before phacoemulsification.
