Clinical identification of optic disk vascular alteration in glaucoma
1Department of Glaucoma, Anand Eye Institute, Nagendra Nagar, Habsiguda, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
Background:
Several characteristic vascular changes can be observed in the glaucomatous eyes, including changes in the vessel configuration and caliber, presence of collateral vessel on disk, and disk hemorrhage.
Purpose:
This video describes characteristic vascular changes in the optic nerve head, which can be observed on clinical examination in the glaucomatous eyes, and useful teaching points to identify the same.
Synopsis:
In glaucoma, as the optic cup enlarges, the normal pattern and course of retinal vessels on the optic disk are altered and show characteristic changes. Identification of these changes provides a clue to the presence of cupping.
Highlights:
In this video, the vascular changes and its identification in the glaucomatous disc are described, which would be useful to the residents.
