Comparison of Heidelberg Retina Tomograph with disc‐macula distance to disc diameter ratio in diagnosing optic nerve hypoplasia

ConclusionsBoth HRT and the DM:DD ratio are valid tests to aid diagnosis of CONH. HRT is superior to DM:DD ratio in diagnosing CONH with higher sensitivity and specificity. We suggest the optimal cut‐off value for HRT disc area as 1.42 mm2 in order to discriminate a hypoplastic disc from a normal optic disc.
