Optic Disc Hypoplasia

Optic Disc Hypoplasia
The photos compare normal optic discs (upper row) with hypoplastic discs (lower row). While appearing at first glance of similar size, closer observation shows the pink area of the hypoplastic disc to be much smaller. It is surrounded by an atrophic choroidal area.
