“…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.…”
