  • Title: Intraocular surgery for optic nerve disorders.
    Author: Poulson AV, Snead DR, Jacobs PM, Ahmad N, Snead MP.
    Journal: Eye (Lond); 2004 Nov; 18(11):1056-65. PubMed ID: 15534590.
    Abstract:
    This article discusses two current indications for intraocular surgery for optic nerve conditions. The first topic is macular detachment in association with congenital optic disc pit, and includes a review of the theories of pathogenesis and management options including our own experience of treatment with vitrectomy and gas tamponade. In addition, the histopathological findings of a new case of optic disc pit with serous macular detachment are presented, adding to the rare examples previously reported. The second subject is a radial optic neurotomy, a recently advocated treatment for central retinal vein occlusion, which, despite its controversial nature, is gaining in popularity.
