title: [Discussion of terminology concerning disorders of the optic nerve and disc (author's transl)].
abstract: Progress over the past few years in knowledge concerning disorders of the optic nerve and disc leads to changes in their classification. A new terminology is proposed. It uses a minimum of terms, their very general sense being understandable by any nonophthalmologist physician. It is based upon clinical symptoms and signs, thus being immediately applicable in clinical practice.
