This study investigates the diagnostic performance of photopic negative response (PhNR) amplitude and the normalized PhNR\/b-wave ratio in diagnosing glaucoma, focusing on the impact of myopia. Methods: Ninety-one glaucoma patients and 19 glaucoma suspects were included, defining myopia as axial length (AL) &gt; 24 mm or &gt; 25 mm. Full-field photopic ERG used a red stimulus on a blue background. Results: Myopic glaucoma patients showed a higher PhNR\/b-wave ratio than non-myopic patients (p = 0.023). AL negatively correlated with b-wave amplitude (r = \u22120.239, p = 0.012). PhNR amplitude demonstrated an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.661 (p = 0.028) overall and was less effective in the myopic subgroup (AUC = 0.574, p = 0.082). The diagnostic performance of the PhNR\/b-wave ratio did not achieve statistical significance in either the total group (AUC = 0.616, p = 0.114) or the myopic subgroup (AUC = 0.574, p = 0.332). Conclusions: Standardization using the PhNR\/b-wave ratio did not enhance diagnostic accuracy over PhNR amplitude, particularly in myopic patients, underscoring the need for careful interpretation in myopia and further research to optimize electrophysiological diagnostics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14030682","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]],"date-time":"2025-01-21T11:47:32Z","timestamp":1737460052000},"page":"682","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Impact of Myopia on the Utility of the Photopic Negative Response Ratio for Glaucoma Assessment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Young Gun","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chan Kee","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyoung In","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"844","article-title":"Global data on visual impairment in the year 2002","volume":"82","author":"Resnikoff","year":"2004","journal-title":"Bull.
