A 72-year-old male presented with low vision and a double optic disc pit in his left eye. Discontinuing glaucoma medication normalized intraocular pressure, suggesting the pit may have influenced visual acuity.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Optic Nerve Disorders
  • Retinal Imaging

Background:

  • A 72-year-old male with a year of reduced left eye visual acuity.
  • Patient was using timolol maleate for suspected glaucoma.

Observation:

  • Ophthalmoscopy revealed a bilateral double optic disc pit in the left eye.
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed for further evaluation.

Findings:

  • Discontinuation of timolol maleate led to normalized intraocular pressure in both eyes.
  • The double optic disc pit was correlated with the patient's visual symptoms.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering optic disc anomalies in visual disturbances.

  • Further investigation into the relationship between optic disc pits and visual acuity is warranted.
  • OCT imaging is crucial for diagnosing and understanding optic disc pit morphology.
