Eyes with thicker RNFL (ten eyes) differed significantly from those with thinner RNFL (eight eyes) regarding cone ERG b-wave latency values only (P = 0.001).  Conclusion: Thicker RNFL in patients with retinitis pigmentosa may be associated with functional abnormality of the cone system.Keywords: optical coherence tomography, electroretinography, photoreceptor, b-waveSobaci GÖzge GGündoğan FÇDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2012, Iss default, Pp 473-478 (2012)
