Purpose To investigate the value of pattern electroretinography (PERG) and photopic negative response (PhNR) in monitoring glaucoma compared to standard clinical tests (standard automated perimetry (SAP) and clinical optic disc assessment) and structural measurements using spectral-domain OCT. Methods A prospective study included 32 subjects (32 eyes) with ocular hypertension, suspect or early glaucoma monitored for progression with clinical examination, SAP, PERG, PhNR and OCT for at least 4 years. Progression was defined clinically by the documented change of the optic disc and/or significant visual field progression (EyeSuite™ trend analysis). One eye per patient was included in the analysis. Results During the follow-up, 13 eyes (40.6%) showed progression, whereas 19 remained stable. In the progressing group, all parameters showed significant worsening over time, except for the PhNR, whereas in the stable group only the OCT parameters showed a significant decrease at the last visit. The trend of change over time using linear regression was steepest for the OCT parameters. At baseline, only the ganglion cell complex (GCC) and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre (pRNFL) thicknesses significantly discriminated between the stable and progressing eyes with the area under the ROC curve of 0.72 and 0.71, respectively. The inter-session variability for the first two visits in the stable group was lower for OCT (% limits of agreement within ± 17.4% of the mean for pRNFL and ± 3.6% for the GCC thicknesses) than for ERG measures (within ± 35.9% of the mean for PERG N95 and ± 59.9% for PhNR). The coefficient of variation for repeated measurements in the stable group was 11.9% for PERG N95 and 23.6% for the PhNR, while it was considerably lower for all OCT measures (5.6% for pRNFL and 1.7% for GCC thicknesses). Conclusions Although PERG and PhNR are sensitive for early detection of glaucomatous damage, they have limited usefulness in monitoring glaucoma progression in clinical practice, mainly due to high inter-session variability. On the contrary, OCT measures show low inter-session variability and might have a predicting value for early discrimination of progressing cases.
