The visual prognosis in optic nerve hypoplasia is quite variable.

The prevalence of absolute pitch is higher among those who are blind from birth as a result of optic nerve hypoplasia.

Disorders of the eye include myopia, nystagmus, coloboma, microphthalmus, or optic nerve hypoplasia.

Ocular conditions such as amblyopia, optic nerve hypoplasia, and strabismus may reduce the perception of depth.

Bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia

Optic nerve hypoplasia

Optic nerve hypoplasia, underdevelopment of the optic nerve

Optic nerve hypoplasia is the underdevelopment of the optic nerve causing little to no vision in the affected eye.

Ocular - Strabismus, optic nerve hypoplasia (which may cause light sensitivity, decreased visual acuity, or involuntary eye movements).

One Small Voice Foundation is a non-profit foundation which finances research into the medical disorders of optic nerve hypoplasia and hydrocephalus.

ONH, Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, medical eye condition

visual defects such as, crossing of the eyes, missing visual fields, and optic nerve hypoplasia

DM:DD ratio has proven to be a clinically useful measurement to help diagnose optic nerve hypoplasia.

Eye trauma caused by disease, injury, or infection such as chalazion, episcleritis, glaucoma, keratoconus, or optic nerve hypoplasia

Occasionally, optic nerve hypoplasia may be compatible with near-normal vision; in other cases, one or both eyes may be functionally, or legally blind.

The optic nerve hypoplasia is generally manifested by nystagmus (involuntary eye movements, often side-to-side) and a smaller-than-usual optic disc.

Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a medical condition arising from the underdevelopment of the optic nerve(s).

Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a congenital condition in which the optic nerve is underdeveloped (small).

Some of the patients also had feeding problems in infancy, microcephaly, optic nerve hypoplasia and hydronephrosis, wide-spaced nipples, short stature, cortical dysplasia, camptodactyly and pigeon toe.

Sandoz began to hypothesize he could use LSD as a way to treat optic nerve hypoplasia, a congenital medical condition where the optic disc appears abnormally small.

Isolated aniridia is a congenital disorder which is not limited to a defect in iris development, but is a panocular condition with macular and optic nerve hypoplasia, cataract, and corneal changes.

Developmental genes and the genetics of congenital malformations of the eye, specifically studies of optic nerve hypoplasia, as well as studies of PAX2 and PAX6 genes

Injuries and cataracts affect the eye itself, while abnormalities such as optic nerve hypoplasia affect the nerve bundle that sends signals from the eye to the back of the brain, which can lead to decreased visual acuity.

Interpretation: When the ratio of DM to DD is greater than 3, ONH is suspected, and when it is greater than 4, Optic Nerve Hypoplasia is definite.
