As above but with swelling of the optic disk (papilledema)

Generally, this transient visual loss is also associated with a headache and optic disk swelling.

Swelling of the optic disk may occur at this time and usually indicates severely elevated blood pressure (i.e., malignant hypertension).

Stilling's canal: a small channel that runs through the vitreous humor between the optic disk nerve and the lens in the eye.

"Optical coherence tomography in optic disk pit maculopathy treated by the macular buckling procedure."

The ophthalmological findings usually can show a bilateral oedema of the optic disk in the acute phase, followed by a bilateral optic atrophy.

Optic Disk and Visual Field Correlations in Primary Open-angle and Low-Tension Glaucoma.

The fundus (area opposite the pupil) shows the characteristic pale optic disk (papilla), where vessels entering the eye pass across and optic nerve fibers depart the globe.

Purkinje's blue arcs are associated with the activity of the nerves sending signals from where a spot of light is focussed on the retina near the fovea to the optic disk.

Since only two-thirds of the eye can receive light, the receptor cells do not need to cover the entire interior of the eye, and line only the area from pupil to the optic disk.

The optic disk of the eye, however, does not contain any of these light-sensitive cells, as it is where the optic nerve leaves to the brain, so is a blind spot within the eye.

R-Type slotted the optic disk from his office into the A/V setup along the back wall and found a general arrangement, skeletal subsystem, with the old Tyrell Robotics banner across the top.

Optic Nerve Papillitis None Papillitis, also known as optic neuritis, is characterized by inflammation and deterioration of the portion of the optic nerve known as the optic disk.

Also referred to as the "blind spot," the optic disk (optic papilla) is that portion of the optic nerve that enters the eye and joins with the nerve-rich membrane lining the eye (retina).

Later, after Dr. Kelly and Ms. Silverberg had checked Mr. Lorie's eyes, "to be sure the optic disk is not swollen," Dr. Kelly told his assistant Mr. Lorie was in fine health, except that he was suffering from stress.

The impediment of venous return causes visible changes in the eye fundus (venous engorgement, and papilledema, i.e. swelling and elevation of the optic nerve disc) that can be observed with an ophthalmoscope and have therefore been used by clinicians for more than a century as signs of increased ICP.

Also referred to as the "blind spot," the optic disk (optic papilla) is that portion of the optic nerve that enters the eye and joins with the nerve-rich membrane lining the eye (retina).

I switched on the little light on the ophthalmoscope and peered into the depths of that most magical and delicate of all organs, down through the lens to the brilliant tapestry of the retina with its optic papilla and branching blood vessels.
