In the study of 50 patients with unilateral central retinal vein occlusion, abnormal electroretinograms were observed in the fellow eyes of 18 patients (36%). The abnormal electroretinograms were supernormal in 15 patients (30%) and negative (+) in the fellow eyes of 3 patients (6%). The amplitudes of a and b waves were significantly greater in the fellow eye than those in normal controls. During a 1- to 9-year follow-up, central retinal vein occlusion developed in three fellow eyes (6%). The abnormal electroretinograms in the fellow eyes reflected such factors as circulatory disturbance of the retina that might have led to central retinal vein occlusion in the affected eye.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
