As clinicians looking at the optic disc we must three basic questions 1) Is this optic disc physiologically normal 2) Is there a glaucomatous / non glaucomatous damage 3) Has there been a change over time. These are simple questions, yet the answer may be elusive. If there is a change in the visual fields it would be need to be co related with the optic disc. If not, then other pathology would need to be identified. With the help of an interactive session and monoscopic pictures hypoplastic optic discs, tilted discs, colobomas and staphylomas of the optic disc along with disc pits and drusens, myelinated nerve fibres and pigmentation of the optic disc alongwith their differentiating features will be discussed. Importance of disc haemorrhages, nerve fibre layer defects – their detection, importance and relevance in management will be emphasized.
