Commentary: Current trends in the management of optic disc pit maculopathy

Optic disc pit (ODP) is a rare developmental defect of the optic nerve head with a reported incidence of 1 in 11000. Gass was the first to describe the use of laser photocoagulation to the temporal disc margin with the aim to create a barrier, thereby preventing the migration of fluid into the retin...

More Information
Summary:Optic disc pit (ODP) is a rare developmental defect of the optic nerve head with a reported incidence of 1 in 11000. Gass was the first to describe the use of laser photocoagulation to the temporal disc margin with the aim to create a barrier, thereby preventing the migration of fluid into the retina. Studies evaluating the role of PPV with PVD induction have shown promising long-term results, with anatomical success rates ranging from 50 to 95% and functional success beyond 50%.
