Abstract

Our studies concern a recessively inherited form of congenital stationary night blindness that is associated with myopia (CSNB for short). Our results show that (i) rod responses measured by the ERG a-wave in the CSNB patients cannot explain the loss of night vision, (ii) Under certain conditions, the patients' psychophysical thresholds are rod-mediated, (iii) The rod-mediated thresholds adapt very poorly to steady background illumination.
