Abstract Details

Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to analyze the morphology of optic nerves in eyes with tilted discs using OCT RNFL.

Setting:

The study took place in our private clinic, using data collected between January 2019 to February 2020.

Methods:

We studied 44 eyes of 22 patients using the OPTOVUE OCT. The inclusion criteria used was the occurrence of a tilted disc in normal or myopic eyes. The presence of any ocular pathology (cataracts, glaucoma, neuropathies, AMD, etc.) was considered to be an exclusion criteria.

Results:

The measurements revealed an average RNFL of 91.45, average CGL being 90.39. Statistically, the fibers were distributed mainly in the inferior sector, with a switch between the nasal and temporal side. The average cup had a C/D fraction of 0.6.

Conclusions:

The structural distribution, that does not entirely respect the ISNT rule, can be explained by the morphology of the optic nerve, which enters the eye at a more temporal angle, thus exposing more temporal fibers than a normal disc.
