Other methods for determining disc size includes using the 5 degree aperture on the direct ophthalmoscope that closely approximates the size of a normal disc. Also, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopes can provide detailed measurements during examination. Care should be taken not to include the zones around the disc in the measurement such as the scleral lip or the zones of alpha and beta atrophy (see Step 7).
Short and concise, great presentation !
