A scotoma may include and enlarge the normal blind spot. Even a small scotoma that happens to affect central or macular vision will produce a severe visual disability, whereas a large scotoma in the more peripheral part of a visual field may go unnoticed by the bearer because of the normal reduced optical resolution in the peripheral visual field.
Glaucoma: central retinal vein occlusion, cavernous sinus thrombosis; Local lesion: optic neuritis, Ischemic optic neuropathy, methanol poisoning, infiltration of the disc by glioma, sarcoidosis and Lymphoma; Acute lymphocytic leukemia (caused by infiltration of the retinal vessels by immature leukocytes)
In megalopapilla the optic disc diameter exceeds 2.1 mm (or surface area more than 2.5 mm 2 [1]) with an increased cup-to-disc ratio. [2] Although the optic disc is looks abnormal, the disc colour, sharpness of disc margin, rim volume, configuration of blood vessels and intraocular pressure will be normal.
In the United States, glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness for African Americans, who have higher rates of primary open-angle glaucoma, [15] [16] and Hispanic Americans. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Bilateral vision loss can negatively affect mobility and interfere with driving.
Distribution of rods and cones along a line passing through the fovea and the blind spot of a human eye [1]. A blind spot, scotoma, is an obscuration of the visual field.A particular blind spot known as the physiological blind spot, "blind point", or punctum caecum in medical literature, is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light-detecting photoreceptor cells on the ...
Subjective measurement of blind spot enlargement is done using visual field testing. [4] In the early stages, using FFA peripapillary hyperfluorescence may be observed. [ 4 ] Since OCT can be used to observe the microstructural alterations in the outer retina, it is the gold standard in diagnosing AIBSES.
(H53.1, H53.4) Scotoma (blind spot) — an area impairment of vision surrounded by a field of relatively well-preserved vision. See also Anopsia . (H53.5) Color blindness — the inability to perceive differences between some or all colors that other people can distinguish
The cup-to-disc ratio (often notated CDR) is a measurement used in ophthalmology and optometry to assess the progression of glaucoma. The optic disc is the anatomical location of the eye's "blind spot", the area where the optic nerve leave and blood vessels enter the retina. The optic disc can be flat or it can have a certain amount of normal ...
