Abstract
The spectral sensitivity of the rapid off-response in the electroretinogram is found to be abnormal in some cases of Pigmentfarbenamblyopie or congenital red-green color deficiency. We hypothesize that there exists a fragile cone mechanism in these cases which show an abnormality in spectral sensitivity of the rapid off-response.
