Blood Supply of the Optic Nerve Head

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Ocular Vascular Occlusive Disorders

Abstract

Optic nerve head (ONH) circulatory disorders together constitute one of the most important ocular vascular disorders (e.g., anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, glaucomatous optic neuropathy, and optic disc vasculitis). To understand these disorders, a good basic understanding of the blood supply of the ONH is a first essential. I have discussed this at length elsewhere [1, 2], and the following is a brief account.
