[Effect of diabetes type I duration on changes of oscillatory potentials in ERG of children and youth].

Oscillatory potentials (OPs) of ERG in 70 juvenile patients (140 eyes) with visual acuity 1.0, suffering from insulin-dependent diabetes were analyzed. According to the duration of the disease, the patients were divided into 4 groups. A significant diminution of the OPs amplitude in the group of patients with diabetes lasting more than 10 years was observed. An extension of implicit times of OPs were discovered starting with the group of patients with diabetes lasting over 5 years.
