Signs. Optic atrophy is a sign and typically is noted as optic nerve pallor. This is the end stage of a process resulting in optic nerve damage. Because the optic nerve fiber layer is thinned or absent the disc margins appear sharp and the disc is pale, probably reflecting absence of small vessels in the disc head.

What is normal Fundi?

What does the fundus of the eye do?

The fundus is the inside, back surface of the eye. It is made up of the retina, macula, optic disc, fovea and blood vessels.
