In this blog, we will discuss the use of RETeval ERG in evaluating cataracts. Cataracts are a common eye condition that affects the lens of the eye, causing it to become opaque over time. This can result in vision problems such as blurriness, halos, and glare. When it comes to evaluating cataracts, the presence of a cataract can sometimes act as a barrier to getting a clear image of what's happening in the back part of the eye. But, with the use of RETeval ERG, we can effectively evaluate cataracts and determine the best course of treatment for our patients.
RETeval ERG (Electroretinogram) is a device used to evaluate the function of the retina, specifically the photoreceptor cells, in response to light stimulation. It is a non-invasive and painless test that provides information about the health of the retina and is commonly used to evaluate cataracts and other retinal conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachments.
The test involves placing electrodes on the cornea and skin around the eye while exposing the patient to different light stimuli. The electrical response of the retina is recorded and converted into graphical representations, known as ERG waveforms, which are then analyzed to determine the function of the retina.
RETeval ERG is particularly useful in evaluating cataracts because it provides important information about the health of the retina before and after cataract surgery. This information is used by the surgeon to determine the best course of action and to monitor the progress of the surgery. In addition, RETeval ERG can also be used to monitor the progression of cataracts and determine if further intervention is necessary.
The test takes about 30-45 minutes to perform and is usually done in a doctor's office or clinical setting. Overall, RETeval ERG is a valuable tool for evaluating the function of the retina, providing important information about the health of the retina that can be used to diagnose, monitor, and treat various retinal conditions.

At Amplify with Dr Wernick I was seeking help for seemingly intractable, probably age-related dryness. I've seen other doctors about it, and that has been helpful, but what he explained to me about it and the careful way he answered all my questions gave me so much more of a clear understanding of what is going on (and is not) that I am more able to implement all his and others' recommendations than I was before. And he gave me additional resources for further follow-up. I am most grateful.
Wow! This is a great Eye Care medical facility. I was thoroughly examined by Dr. Pinkhasov for over 2 hours. She made sure to check my eyes for pretty much everything and patiently explained proper care for my eyes. They definitely know how to provide great care and treat their patients right. Now I know why they have such a great reputation and been around for so long.
Dr. Kavner is a gifted diagnostician and orthoptic therapist. He treated me several decades ago for a condition similar to dyslexia. I was having migraines five times per week. I worked with him for about a year and I experienced tremendous improvement (down to 3-4 per year) that has lasted.
Dr. Kavner recommended two types of eye therapy for my daughter. One of them using bio-feedback. In just three sessions she is seeing considerably better. She shouted this morning: Ooh my God! I could not see these letters with my glasses on, and now I can see them without my glasses. If you are willing and able to invest in improving your vision, this is a good place to go to!

I have always found Dr Kavner's work, expertise and wisdom of the highest caliber. As one of the fathers of OT, occupational othomology, his depth and breadth of knowledge about the eyes' health and wellbeing of the patient is exemplary. Cannot say enough good things about him.
