Speculations on the direction of the optic nerve

American Journal of Optometry and Physiological Optics

|April 1, 1983

Abstract:

A theory is proposed to explain the direction of the optic nerve on the basis of differing embryonic growth of axons on opposite sides of the nerve head. Several ophthalmoscopic indicators of the direction of the optic nerve are discussed. Some clinical implications are presented.
