Abstract A comparison between results obtained by pattern electroretinography (ERG), Ganzfeld cone and rod-ERG was made in 7 patients suffering from melanoma, glaucoma and retinal detachment. It was shown that the extent of the lesions, not seen ophthalmoscopically, can be well monitored by the second harmonic component of pattern electroretinography in cases where conventional Ganzfeld ERG's do not reveal defects. Especially damage caused by acute glaucoma attacks and those stemming from chronic hypertension can be well differentiated.
