Normal Peripapillary Nerve Fiber Layer | This is a normal peripapillary nerve fiber layer in a young woman. Note the way the nerve fiber striations obscure and partially bury the small vessels running across them. Also note the interrupted surface reflex on arteries due to interposed nerve fiber layer tissue. All these vessels are buried i... | Image |

Normal Peripapillary Nerve Fiber Layer | This picture is a sample of a normal healthy nerve fiber layer temporal to the optic disc. Note how the nerve fiber layer obscures the small arteriolar branches running within it. Anatomy: Retina. Pathology: Normal healthy young retina. Disease/Diagnosis: Normal nerve fiber layer and retina. | Image |

 |
Normal Peripapillary Nerve Fiber Layer | Magnification of same disc shown in 1a. Whole fields of Gunn's Dots are visible. Note the way that the reflexes from the internal limiting membrane bend over vertically running arterioles. This is a tent-like effect. Gunn's Dots are footplates of Muller's cells and reflect light from the ophthalmosc... | Image |

 |
Ocular Hypertension | There is an argument about whether this is a pseudo nerve fiber layer defect, because defect does not reach the disc. The vessels transversing the defect are not exposed and there is no change in the visual field and no other slit like defects. Anatomy: Peripapillary nerve fiber layer. Pathology: Sl... | Image |
