“…Our study showed a 27% decrease in mean GVF area over time. It is well known that retinal sensitivity decreases with age in healthy eyes (Calixto et al 2006) and a correlation between mean sensitivity and age has been found to be 31.2-0.064 9 (age) (Zulauf et al 1994). This means that a decrease in retinal sensitivity of 11.9% would be expected in our patients during the follow-up period even if they were not diagnosed with ODD.…”
Minimal or no change in superficial optic disc anatomy and visual fields in ODD patients oldest at the initial examination suggests that anatomical progression of ODD in patients with hereditary ODD happens primarily before adulthood.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
