In clinical electroretinography, a total response is obtained from the whole area of the retina. Single-flash electroretinography from the eye in a standardized state of semi-dark-adaptation (Karpe 1948) gives the sum total of all potentials from the whole retina. Since dark adaptation makes the threshold of the retina low, the stray light from the contact glass and the ocular media will stimulate the whole retina. Consequently, in this recording, it is not possible to register the response from a small, illuminated part of the retina. A circulatory disturbance of the retina is associated with a functional disturbance that can be demonstrated on the electroretinogram (ERG). The size of the b-potential is altered, as well as the balance between the b-wave and a-wave. The ERG curve obtained from the normal eye (Fig. 1, A: 1 and 2 ) , the normal variations in the b-potential and the normal occurrence of the a-wave have been studied by Karpe (1915) and by Zeidler (1959). (In these studies, the height of both the band a-wave is measured from the isoelectric line or its prolongation.) When both 6and a-wave are decreased in size, a type of pathologic deviation occurs that is denoted as a subnormal ERG (Fig. 1, B: 1 and 2). If neither of the potentials is recordable with this method, the ERG is denoted as extinguished (Fig. 1 , D: 1 and 2). In certain cases in the latter group it is, however, possible by using a particularly strong light stimulus, or special methods for analyzing the flicker function (Henkes et al. 1956) to demonstrate the presence of a potential. When both the aand b-wave are larger than normal, but have the same mutual relation as in the normal ERG, the curve is denoted as supernormal (Fig. 1, C : 1). If the negative potentials are more predominant than under normal conditions, the ERG is denoted as negative (Karpe 1945). Two types of negative ERG can be distinguished, namely, negf and neg(Henkes
