Optic Disc Cupping Vs Normal at Gwen Patrica blog

Optic Disc Cupping Vs Normal. The normal cup to disc ratio (the diameter of the cup divided by the diameter of the whole nerve head or disc) is about 1/3 or 0.3. We present an approach to distinguish glaucomatous from nonglaucomatous optic neuropathy. In people with glaucoma, elevated pressure in the eye can affect the optic disc, specifically the nerve fibres found within it. This is called optic nerve cupping. Differentiating glaucomatous from nonglaucomatous optic disc cupping is the focus of this review. A c/d ratio between 0.4 and 0.8 can characterize a patient with a normal optic disc (i.e., physiologic cupping), a glaucoma suspect. This requires an understanding of the normal. A cup to disc ratio. Learn how to assess the optic nerve for glaucoma by examining the cup to disc ratio, rim thickness, blood vessels, asymmetry, color, peripapillary. Increased pressure in your eye or decreased blood flow to your optic nerve due to glaucoma may destroy the nerve fibers, enlarging the cup.
