Purpose: To compare multifocal electroretinograms (ERGs) in control subjects and patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Method: Eighteen eyes of control subjects and 15 eyes affected by CSC were tested with a VERIS Sciences 4.0 system. The average response densities and latencies of six annular retinal regions in control subjects were compared with those with CSC. Results: The N 1 , P 1 average response densities of the first and second annuli were decreased and the N 1 , P 1 latencies of first to third rings were delayed in CSC. Conclusion: The multifocal ERG can be used to evaluate retinal dysfunction in CSC.
