Myopic Children Have Central Reduction in High Contrast Multifocal ERG Response, While Adults Have Paracentral Reduction in Low Contrast Response

Retinal function was unaffected in myopic children, except for the outer retina in the central macular region. In contrast, the inner retinal function was substantially reduced in myopic adults, especially in the paracentral region. This study provides further evidence for different retinal, physiological characteristics in myopic children and myopic adults.
