| Description |
The determination of disc pallor requires familiarity with normal disc color. The temporal side of the normal disc usually has less color than its nasal side. The degree of this temporal pallor is primarily related to the size of the physiologic cup, and to the thin translucent character of the temporal nerve fiber layer. |
