What is an ERG Test?

Posted on by One Vision
An electroretinography (ERG) test, also known as an electroretinogram, measures the electrical response of the light-sensitive cells in your eyes. These cells are known as rods and cones. They form part of the back of the eye known as the retina.
Haven’t had one of these tests yet. Sounds intriguing.

Needles and pins – central vision loss and threading a needle

Cross-stitch in frame with - and sew what if I can't sew in them middle
Asked my son to thread a needle for me because there isn’t really a good chance I will.

It was driving me bonkers.
Really frustrating.
I gave him the needle and thread.
