In children undergoing long-term total parenteral nutrition without taurine supplements, there are changes in the electroretinogram similar to those seen in the taurine-deficient cat, suggesting that there is a requirement for some preformed taurine and that endogenous synthesis may be inadequate.

The peripheral lesions can occm with or without simultaneous macular involvement (Figure 35-10). Other changes include attenuated retinal vessels, optic atrophy, peripheral visual field loss, abnormal color vision, and a subnormal electroretinogram (ERG). The feet that the dark-adaptation threshold is normal, or omy minimally abnormal, further differentiates this condition flom retinitis pigmentosa. 

Fluorescein angiography, ocular blood flow analysis via laser Doppler flowmetry, color vision measurements, contrast sensitivity testing, and electrophysiological tests (e.g., pattern electroretinograms) are used as research tools in the evaluation of POAG patients. Routine clinical use is not advocated at this time.
