Summary:The progress of a study on differential recovery of the electroretinogram, visually evoked cortical potential, and electrically evoked cortical potential following vitrectomy: Implications for acute testing of an implanted retinal prosthesis is discussed. The study reveals a temporary, vitrectomy-induced subnormal responsiveness of the retina, which could lead to false conclusions if this effect is not considered.
