An electroretinogram (ERG) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the retina.
It is used to diagnose retinal diseases, such as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and diabetic retinopathy.
ERGs are also used to study the function of the retina and to investigate the effects of drugs and other substances on the eye.
The procedure involves placing a small electrode on the cornea of the eye and recording the electrical signals produced by the retina in response to light stimuli.
