What is glaucomatous optic atrophy?

What is retinal cupping?

The optic nerve sits in the back of your eye, and it's surrounded by a dense network of other nerve fibers. When those smaller nerves die, the space they leave behind looks a bit like a cup. Doctors call this "optic nerve cupping." Cupping can be a sign of glaucoma, and this condition always needs treatment.

What is cup to disc asymmetry?

Abstract: : Cup to disc asymmetry is considered a characteristic risk factor in the diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma.

What does glaucomatous mean?

Medical Definition of glaucomatous : of, relating to, or affected with glaucoma.

What causes optic disc cupping?

OPTIC DISC CUPPING. A hallmark of glaucoma is excavation or enlargement of the optic disc, referred to as cupping. The vast majority of pathologic cupping is caused by glaucoma. Disc cupping in the absence of elevated IOP may be caused by normal-tension glaucoma, which accounts for 20% to 30% of open-angle glaucoma.

Can you have optical cupping without glaucoma?

Patients who have non-glaucomatous cupping of the optic nerve tend to have lower visual acuity; studies have found that vision less than 20/40 may indicate non-glaucomatous cupping associated with intracranial masses.

What is cup disc ratio in the eye?

The bigger the ratio, the more empty space there is in the nerve head. That space may be left behind when nerve cells die. The average cup to disc ratio is about 0.4, and ratios of 0.7 or greater happen only 2.5% of the time, so cups this big raise our suspicion that glaucoma might already have started (Figure 13).

Can you reverse optic nerve cupping?

Interpretation: Optic disc cupping can be reversed at an early stage of primary congenital glaucoma following successful reduction of IOP. Younger age at surgery was associated with reversal of cupping.

What is disc asymmetry?

Optic disc asymmetry is a common finding. In the majority of cases automated visual fields are normal. However, in a minority, a visual field defect may lead to a diagnosis of normal tension glaucoma. Rarely, the optic discs and visual field deteriorate irrespective of the normal or reduced intraocular pressure.
