Quantification of dark adaptation dynamics in retinitis pigmentosa using non-linear regression analysis.
PURPOSE Non-linear regression analysis was used to determine dark adaptation indices in people with retinitis pigmentosa and in control subjects. METHODS Dark adaptation data were collected for 13 people with retinitis pigmentosa and 21 controls using the Goldmann-Weekers Dark Adaptometer. Data were analysed using an exponential non-linear regression model and dark adaptation indices derived....
متن کاملProlonged rod dark adaptation in retinitis pigmentosa.
The time course of rod dark adaptation was measured in 12 patients and carriers of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In contrast to previous studies the rod absolute threshold was determined prior to any exposure to the bleaching light. For seven of the patients and carriers the recovery of rod sensitivity to the prebleach level was prolonged, with the delay ranging from mild to severe. The prolongati...
متن کاملPupil size following dark adaptation in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
According to the equivalent light hypothesis, molecular defects in the photoreceptor lead to a continuous activation of the photoreceptor cascade in a manner equivalent to real light. The consequences in diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) are as disruptive to the cells as real light. Two forms of the equivalent light hypothesis can be distinguished: strong - mutations in rhodopsin or ot...
متن کاملAbnormal dark adaptation kinetics in autosomal dominant sector retinitis pigmentosa due to rod opsin mutation.
The time course of dark adaptation was measured in 10 subjects from three families with autosomal dominant sector retinitis pigmentosa (RP) due to mutations in the first exon of the rod opsin gene. In each subject cone adaptation and the early part of the recovery of rod sensitivity followed the normal time course, but the later phase of rod adaptation was markedly prolonged. The recovery of ro...
متن کاملLight adaptation of the electroretinogram. Diminished in retinitis pigmentosa.
The cone electroretinogram has been examined at different levels of ganzfeld adaptation in normals and subjects with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). As light adaptation increases, the amplitude and time course (measured as b-wave implicit time) of the cone ERG decrease in both normal and RP subjects. The same level of light adaptation, however, decreases the amplitude and the implicit time more in n...
