Significant differences were found in area (p Patients with ONHD had smaller optic disc area 2.6☐.55mm2 (mean±SD), horizontal diameter (1.68☐.18mm) and vertical diameter (1.94☐.28mm) than normal controls (2.93☐.43mm2, 1.86☐.14mm and 1.98☐.17mm, respectively). We measured total optic disc area, vertical and horizontal diameter. Fundus photography was done in all the cases with a telecentric optical system FF450 IR plus from Zeiss with 20° magnification and Visupac measuring system. Fifty-five patients with ONHD confirmed by B-scan echography and 52 patients’ normal controls were studied.
