Abstract
Multimodal imaging and genetic testing allow sophisticated assessment of suspected inherited retinal disease. Given the availability of such technology, some question whether the full-field electrogram (ffERG) is needed anymore. In fact, a ffERG remains essential for certain clinical scenarios. The goal of this case-based review is to provide a clear understanding of what clinical situations warrant a ffERG. All practicing ophthalmologists should be familiar with this information.
