Top 30 Fastest Growing Tech Companies 2019 We are honored to be recognized as one of the 30 Fastest Growing Tech Companies 2019 by The Silicon Review Transforming the World of Visual Electrophysiology: LKC Technologies “We have the right system for every practice and research facility, big or small.” Since 1976, LKC Technologies, Inc. (LKC) […]

Course of loss of photoreceptor function and progressive Müller cell gliosis in rhodopsin P347L transgenic rabbits

April 30, 2019 The purpose of this study was to determine the time course of the loss of photoreceptor function and the changes in the morphology of the retina of P347L Tg rabbits. The experiments were performed on 26 older P347L Tg rabbits. The results of this study, featuring the UTAS BigShot, showed that the […]

Effects of Sodium Lighting on Circadian Rhythms in Rats

April 23, 2019 This study features the UTAS BigShot Visual Electrodiagnostics System to generate spectra similar to sodium light (composed of 589-nm wavelength light), to evoke and acquire the ERG signals (high–pass filtered at 0.3 Hz and low–pass filtered at 500 Hz)). ERG protocols were adapted from a previous study50 to test scotopic and photopic luminance responses […]

Flicker electroretinogram recorded with portable ERG device in prematurely born schoolchildren with and without ROP

The purpose of this study was to compare electroretinographic (ERG) responses of preterm schoolchildren, with and without a history of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with those of full-term schoolchildren by using the RETeval device. The conclusion of the study is that prematurely born schoolchildren exhibit longer implicit time of the 30-Hz flicker ERG response compared to controls, […]

Longitudinal In Vivo Characterization of the Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Mouse Model: Focus on Early Inner Retinal Responses

March 5, 2019 The goal of this study was to perform an extensive temporal characterization of the early pathologic processes in the streptozotocin (STZ)–induced diabetic retinopathy (DR) mouse model, beyond the vascular phenotype, and to investigate the potential of clinically relevant compounds in attenuating these processes.

Hand-held, dilation-free, electroretinography in children under 3 years of age treated with vigabatrin

This is the first study to assess the utility of RETeval device in children under 3 years of age undergoing vigabatrin treatment. LKC’s RETeval™ demonstrated high intra-visit reliability with responses consistent with the standard Espion ERG and may be beneficial for assessment of retinal toxicity in young children treated with vigabatrin.

Assessing nonsedated handheld cone flicker electroretingram as a screening test in pediatric patients: comparison to sedated conventional cone flicker electroretinogram

The purpose of this study was to assess the RETeval (LKC Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD) handheld electroretingram (ERG) device as a screening tool for cone dysfunction in pediatric patients by comparing it to conventional ERG. READ PUBLICATION

New CPT Codes for Visual Electrophysiology Testing in The U.S.

During calendar year 2018 the AMA and the American Academy of Ophthalmology conducted a RUC study of flash and pattern based electroretinogram (ERG) testing and reimbursement. As a result of this study, as of January 1, 2019, reimbursement and coverage of ERG’s has been maintained via a new CPT code for full-field flash ERG: 92273*. The old code: 92275 has […]

A nonhuman primate model of inherited retinal disease

In this study featuring the RETevet device, researchers have identified 4 related NHPs at the California National Primate Research Center with visual impairment and findings from clinical ophthalmic examination, advanced retinal imaging, and electrophysiology consistent with achromatopsia. The subjects were dilated and dark adapted for electrophysiologic testing. Scotopic and photopic full-field electroretinograms (ERGs) were performed on […]
