Electroretinography in neonates treated with phototherapy. 1978

K Bhupathy, and R Sethupathy, and R S Pildes, and A A Constantaras, and J H Fournier

Electroretinographic (ERG) studies were performed in 22 normal control newborns and 28 neonates who had had phototherapy during the first few days of life. Mean age at ERG testing was 16.8 +/- 2.9 days in the phototherapy group and 16.4 +/- 3.7 days in the control group. Results of routine funduscopy were normal in both groups. Amplitudes of a and b waves under dark- and light-adapted states were similar in both groups. Phototherapy did not appear to have deleterious effects on photopic and scotopic retinal function in infants whose eyes were adequately shielded.
