Drusen in the optic nerve head. Verification by computerized tomography.

Five patients with a clinical diagnosis of buried or exposed drusen of the optic nerve head were examined by computerized tomography (CT). The relative x-ray absorption within their nerve heads was significantly larger than in controls, reflecting the high calcium content of drusen. Computerized tomography, and particularly high-definition CT, therefore merits consideration in the investigation of disc swelling.

Relationship between perimetric eccentricity and retinal locus in a human eye. Comparison with theoretical calculations.

A blind but grossly normal eye was removed because of severe pain. With the patient's consent, photo-coagulation markers were placed along the horizontal meridian of the retina prior to surgery. The angular coordinates in visual space of the markers were determined by an ophthalmoscopic procedure. The loci of the markers were also determined in a flat preparation following enucleation. The relationship between retinal arc and perimetric eccentricity was found to be approximately linear up to at least 50 degrees. Our findings validate earlier theoretical calculations within this range.
