TL;DR: Four hundred and fifty-seven unselected normal human optic nerve heads of 319 subjects were evaluated by magnification-corrected morphometry of optic disc photographs, finding that the cup was significantly larger in discs with steep "punched-out" cups and neuroretinal rim area was broadest in the inferior optic disc region.

TL;DR: The parapapillary chorioretinal atrophy was divided into a peripheral zone "Alpha" with irregular hyper- and hypopigmentation, and a more central zone "Beta" characterized by whitish colour, visible large choroidal vessels and visible sclera, which were significantly largest and most common in the temporal horizontal sector.

TL;DR: Highly myopic disks can be regarded as secondary acquired macrodisks, the size of which is correlated with refraction and possibly age, and they should be differentiated from secondary, acquired Macrodisks in congenital glaucoma and from primary macro Disks.

TL;DR: It is found that glaucoma leads to a change in the characteristic configuration of the neuroretinal rim that in normal eyes is significantly (P < 0.001) largest at the lower disc pole, smaller at the upper and nasal disc side, and smallest in the temporal disc region.

TL;DR: The intrapapillary morphometric data of 290 optic nerve heads of 158 patients with chronic primary open-angle glaucoma and of 253 unselected normal subjects were correlated with the visual field indices of Octopus program 32,34-Delta, with significant correlations revealed for the neuroretinal rim (NRR) area and in four defined disc sectors.
