Race-, Age-, Gender-, and Refractive Error—Related Differences in the Normal Optic Disc

Prevalence of ocular findings regardless of visual acuity status in older adults from the Brazilian Amazon Region

“…Moreover, glaucoma cupping might be an indicative of early-stage disease or high risk of disease development that could indeed cause vision impairment in later life in a person who will need ongoing care to prevent the disease development or progression. While our data showed association of glaucoma cupping with male gender and older age, there is no consensus in the literature with studies indicating significant effects only of aging 27 , only of male gender 28 , both 29 or neither 30 . A detailed analysis of the optic nerve head topography would be indicated to a better understand of those variables’ effects.…”

The influence of age, gender, refractive error, and optic disc size on the optic disc configuration in Japanese normal eyes

“…The lack of influence on optic disc configuration by gender and refractive error observed in the current study is consistent with previous reports (Dielemans et al 1994;Gundersen et al 1998;Varma et al 1994). The significant correlation of disc diameter and disc size with the neuroretinal rim area or C/D ratio in the current study is also consistent with a previous report.…”

Quantitative Analysis of Optic Disc Color

“…Such findings may be related to the age-related changes in the brightest optic disc cupping center. Varma et al [11] reported that there were no age-related or refractive error related differences in the disc area or in the neural rim area and cup area; therefore, our findings of no age-related differences in nasal rim color corresponded well with previously reported data.…”
