Abstract
Lipaemia retinalis usually resolves rapidly without visual impairment after correction of hyperlipidemia. The reversible deficits of electroretinogram response in lipaemia retinalis are reported for the first time. High level of triglycerides or cholesterol or both may impair retinal function. The mechanism of an impaired electroretinogram remained speculative.
