The Isolation of Human Rod and Cone Photoreceptor Activity combining Electroretinography and Silent Substitution Techniques
… silent substitution method and current standard clinical protocols. The results from the cone experiments showed that the L-, M- and S-cone stimulation produced ERGs with very different morphologies. L- and M-cone stimulation is of limited use as an objective measure of colour vision deficiency. …
