SUMMARY
In this paper we studied 45 patients (72 eyes) with Tilted Optic Disc emphasizing that the ophthalmologist should be aware of this congenital anomaly to prevent:
-
- the ambliopia by early diagnosis
-
- clinical and surgical inappropriate treatments
We compared through the paired t test, in 12 unilateral cases, the following parameters in the normal and the affected eye:
-
- Keratometry
-
- Corneal thickness
-
- Anterior Chamber Depth (dynamic and static)
-
- Lens thickness
We did not find significant statistical differences.
We got various visual fields changes: altitudinal defects, quadrantanopia and incongruous hemianopia of the inner isopters. The Echo-biometry of the oblique diameters of the eye showed a nasal inferior ectasia.
