Correlating visual acuity and electrooculogram recordings in Best's disease.
The visual function in 54 eyes of 27 patients with Best's disease was analyzed by retrospectively examining the Snellen visual acuities and the electrooculogram (EOG). Visual acuities, generally well maintained in most patients, were 20/40 (0.5) or better in 41 of 54 (75.9%) eyes, and showed no correlation with age. Those in the cicatricial stage had worse visual acuities than those in the previtelliform stage. The EOG was abnormal in 47 eyes (87.0%) with a subnormal light peak/dark trough (Lp/Dt) ratio less than 1.85. Seven eyes (13.0%) with an Lp/Dt ratio 1.85 or higher had significantly smaller Dt values compared with those with a low Lp/Dt ratio. The Lp/Dt ratio did not correlate with patient age or disease stage. No correlation existed between visual acuities and Lp/Dt ratios. The Lp/Dt ratio did not reflect the severity of the macular lesions. The results indicate that not only a low Lp/Dt ratio but also a low dark trough value in cases with a normal Lp/Dt ratio are helpful in diagnosing Best's disease.
