Pattern reversals with a ramp-like temporal course evoke transient pattern electroretinograms (PERG) that are delayed and attenuated in comparison with responses evoked by a step-like course (abrupt pattern reversals). This delay depends on the reversal time and probably represents a measure for temporal characteristics of the activated retinal structures. A pattern reversal stimulator with adjustable reversal periods (matrix of 8 X 14 rectangular red light emitting diodes, element size 2-degrees X 1-degrees, stimulus area 16-degrees X 14-degrees) was used to record transient PERGs from 20 glaucomatous eyes with early or moderate visual field damages (measured with computer perimetry). The q-wave (PI) amplitude difference between the glaucoma group and normal subjects with step-like reversal stimulation was not significant (P = 0.23). On the other hand, a highly significant separation (P < 0.0001) between both groups was possible using the PI latency at ramp-like stimulation or the response latency shift between step and ramp-like stimulation (Pattern reversal time, 30 ms).
