| Description |
The evaluation of optic disc color is a routine but often challenging problem. This seemingly simple task has many pitfalls. Estimating the lack of color in an optic disc is difficult to assess, record, compare, and describe. The normal color of the optic disc is dependent upon its composition and the relationship of the components to each other and to the light that is reflected or refracted from the disc surface. Because the neural elements are gray, the pink color of the disc is also related to its blood vessels. |
