At Westchester Eyes, an ERG is done with the LKC RetEval device, which offers comprehensive electrophysiology testing that can diagnose and manage retina and optic nerve diseases. With this device, the practice can identify inherited retinal dystrophies, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and other degenerative ocular conditions.

An ERG measures the electrical response of the eye's light-sensitive cells, which are also called the rods and cones. This procedure can help to identify both inherited and acquired ocular disorders in their earliest stages, which is an important first step in beginning preventative or corrective treatments.

Using LKC's RetEval device, Westchester Eyes' specialized optometrists can detect functional stress in a patient's retina, optic nerve, and nerve pathways to the brain. This technology allows the optometrist to create a full picture of a patient's eye health, with a non-invasive, relatively quick procedure.

Depending on a patient's underlying condition, the practice can develop a treatment plan to decrease their light sensitivity and other symptoms and prevent further visual impairment. Patients experiencing concerning symptoms can learn about potential retinal or optic nerve diseases and the technologies and treatment techniques the practice offers at https://www.westchestereyes.com/services.html
