   Clinical assessment of the optic disc and nerve fiber layer (NFL) is an important method to diagnose and monitor the progress of glaucomatous optic neuropathy but is often difficult in eyes with tilted discs.1-3 Clinically, there are 2 orientations of tilting of the optic disc: temporal and inferior1 (Figure 1). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrates an acceptable diagnostic ability for glaucoma by comparing an individual patient's NFL thickness profile with those in a normative database.4-6 The purpose of this study is to characterize the NFL of nonglaucomatous eyes with tilted discs using OCT.

   Evaluation of the optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer is an essential part of the ophthalmic examination for diagnosis and for monitoring the progress of various types of optic neuropathy. Qualitative evaluation with stereoscopic optic disc photography is the traditional clinical method for the documentation of the optic disc appearance for serial comparisons. Recently, many imaging techniques have become available for optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer evaluation. Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, scanning laser polarimetry and optical coherence tomography are currently the most widely used techniques by the ophthalmic community. These techniques have been reported to be reproducible ... (Read Full Article)
