1. Aims: To describe the clinical characteristics of the patients with superior segmental optic hypoplasia (SSOH) and quantitatively assess the structural abnormalities with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Heidelberg retina tomography (HRT). Methods: Twenty-three eyes from 23 patients (11 men and 12 women, mean age 44.3 years) with SSOH were enrolled and 23 control subjects were matched for age and optic disc size. In addition to detailed ophthalmoscope examination and standard automated perimetry, OCT and HRT were performed for the quantitative assessment of the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and optic nerve head. Results: The OCT images showed that the eyes ... (Read Full Article)
