The aim of this article is to present data from recent literature and our own experience with respect the role pattern electroretinography (PERG) photopic negative response (PhNR) in glaucoma diagnosis. results these studies show that PERG amplitude reduction an indicator conversion manifest a predictor increased rate progression retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning patients suspicion. PhNR are capable detecting decreased function when routine diagnostic examinations still within normal ranges or borderline. may also serve confirm improvement. Both tests as well-selected IOP-lowering therapy. In suspected normal-tension glaucoma, be only RGCs dysfunction basis for inclusion
