purpose To study the visual electrophysiological changes in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis. Methods The visual evoked potentials(VEP) and electroretinogram(ERG) of 26 subjects with chronic glomerulonephritis in 51 eyes were recorded. Results Ours studies showed the patients with chronic glomerulonephritis had pathologic visual electrophysiologic abnormalities.The N 75 peak latency,b wave peak latency O 1 peak latency and total amplitude of OPs in chronic glomerulonephritis patients without fundus sign showed remarkable difference. Conclusion These changes suggested visual electrophysiological examination may be valuable in early diagnosis of retinal disfunction in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis.

Objective To find out about the characteristics and prognosis of retinal detachment due to ocular contusion.Methods The clinical data of 36 patients(36 eyes)with retinal detachment due to ocular contusion were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 3 eyes(8．3％)with huge retinal hole(≥90°)，4 eyes(11．1％)oral tear of ora serrata retinae，4 eyes(11．1％)with macular hole，3 eyes(8.3％)with tractive retinal detachment，and 22 eyes(61．2％)with retinal hole(lt;90°)at other positions(including temporal peripheral hole in 9，nasal peripheral hole in 5，and posterior polar hole in 8).Proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR)was found in a11 patients withConclusions Retinal detachment due to ocular contusion often go with PVR．The interval from contusion to retinal detachment varies from days to months.Visual prognosis can be good when retinal detachment is diagnosed and treated in time． (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2004，20：1-66)
