ASSESSMENT OF RETINAL FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH HIV WITHOUT INFECTIOUS RETINITIS BY MULTIFOCAL ELECTRORETINOGRAM AND AUTOMATED PERIMETRY

Abstract

In the era of HAART there are still demonstrable visual field defects and other evidence of damage to the retinal nerve fiber layer in HIV patients. Our mfERG studies show that the damage appears to affect the inner retina, the outer retina is spared. Further studies of inner retinal structure and function are indicated to elucidate this process.
