Abstract:
:The end-stage or involutional phase of proliferative diabetic retinopathy may result in stabilization of vision for long periods of time. However, the clinical resemblance to the progressive tapetoretinal degenerations suggests that marked functional impairment of the retina is present in such eyes. We studied 19 eyes with involutional retinopathy to document the status of the retinal function. Studies included fluorescein angiography, visual field examination, dark adaptation testing, color vision testing, electro-oculography and electroretinography (ERG). The results indicated marked functional abnormalities in all eyes. The ERG tracings showed uniformly subnormal responses and delayed implicit times, similar to those of dominantly inherited retinal pigment degeneration, and indicative of a progressive retinal disorder. In two patients, color vision testing showed defects similar to those seen in inherited tritanopia; and in the remaining patients, defects were indicative of an acquired blue-yellow dyschomatopsia.
