Abstract

The method of electroretinography, which is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the retina that occurs in response to light stimulation is applied to retina research. The potentials registration is performed after the impulse retina gating using special equipment through a sensor mounted in a contact lens, which is superimposed on the eye, then the flash lamp produces a flash of considerable intensity and short duration. Relevant for the registration of the total bioelectric activity of all retina neurons of the reina is the automation of receiving electroretinogram, study its amplitude characteristics and timing, which is a diagnostic tool to quantify the degree of impairment, localization, depth and prevalence of pathological processes. Microcontroller electroretinograph allows to define how the smallest biochemical disturbances and biggest degenerative and atrophic processes, to study the mechanisms of development of pathological processes in the retina, and facilitates the early differential and topical diagnosis of retina diseases. Management of diagnostics is performed in accordance with the standards recommended for the study of visual functions. Processing of the received information and its output and mapping are performed in the interpretation of friendly medical staff. It is organized an ability to transfer the measured data to a PC for further display, statistical processing, and analysis of the consulting activities in the Internet.
