(1) Whereas the healthy control eyes showed large cyclic variations in both the c-wave amplitude and the SP, no oscillations in the c-wave amplitude were observed in the OCRA eyes at any stage, and the SP oscillations were barely detectable in these eyes.
(2) In the present study on four patients with OCRA the affected eyes showed diminished b- and c-waves.
(3) The findings of the present study strongly indicate that the SP and c-wave oscillations are related, and that they are either dependent on an intact inner retina or that the pigment epithelium-photoreceptor complex is functionally affected by OCRA.
(4) Experiments in progress on Cynomolgus monkeys with experimentally induced unilateral OCRA show similar results.
(5) Occlusion of the central retinal artery (OCRA), which causes serious damage to the inner retinal layers, should therefore not primarily be expected to affect the c-wave amplitude.
(6) Occlusion of the central retinal artery (OCRA) causes serious morphological damage only to the inner retina.
(7) If not taken into consideration, the marked difference in oscillations between the OCRA eye and the healthy eye may be a major source of error when comparing c-waves from the two eyes, and it seems that some of the conflicting results reported by others can be explained in this way.
(8) OCRA causes morphological damage to the inner retina but not to the pigment epithelium-photoreceptor complex, which generates the positive component of the c-wave, and where the SP is also believed to originate.
(9) In this study on five Cynomolgus monkeys with unilateral, laser-induced OCRA the c-wave was decreased, slightly in the early stage and markedly in the late stage.
