Electroretinography (ERG) Testing for Pets in Plano, TX

Electroretinography (ERG) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of the retina—the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. At Animal Eye Specialists in Plano, we use ERG to evaluate retinal function in pets who may have vision loss or are preparing for cataract surgery.

Schedule Your Pet’s ERG Evaluation

If your pet has signs of vision loss or is being evaluated for cataract surgery, an ERG test may be necessary. Contact Animal Eye Specialists in Plano to learn more or to book a specialized retinal exam. Call us today to speak with our experienced team.

How the Procedure Works

During the ERG, your pet is given light sedation for comfort. A contact lens electrode is placed on the eye, and flashes of light stimulate the retina. The equipment records the retina’s electrical responses, allowing us to analyze its function in real time. The procedure is painless and typically takes under an hour.
