This study identified key optic disc changes in simple optic nerve atrophy (SONA), differentiating it from glaucoma. Findings aid in diagnosing non-glaucomatous optic nerve damage.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuro-ophthalmology

Background:

  • Non-glaucomatous optic nerve damage presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Simple optic nerve atrophy (SONA) is a specific form of optic neuropathy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To morphometrically evaluate optic disc changes in SONA.
  • To identify features distinguishing SONA from normal optic nerves.

Main Methods:

  • Morphometric analysis of intra- and parapapillary regions.
  • Evaluation of color stereo optic disc diapositives.
  • Comparison between 106 eyes with SONA and 107 normal eyes.

Main Results:

  • SONA characterized by reduced parapapillary nerve fiber visibility and diminished vessel diameter.

  • Area of optic disc pallor exceeded cupping area in SONA.
  • No significant differences in optic disc size, rim, scleral ring, or parapapillary atrophy zones between groups.
  • Similar frequencies of optic disc hemorrhages and bared vessels.

    • Conclusions:

    • Specific morphologic features aid in diagnosing SONA.
    • Distinguishing SONA from glaucoma and other optic neuropathies is crucial.
