title: Optic disc area and diameter of the central retinal vein occlusion fellow eyes, determined by optical coherence tomography.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the diameters and disc area of central retinal vein occlusion fellow eyes (CRVO fellow eyes), whether there is any small diameter of the particular axis, which predisposing to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), or not.
  
  
  METHODS
  A prospective analytic study between 78 CRVO fellow eye patients and 102 healthy control subjects was evaluated. Fast optic disc scan with Stratus OCT was obtained.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Six axes of disc diameters, and disc area were not different between the groups. Analysis of the model excluding glaucoma within the study group (n = 59) revealed the similar outcome.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Optic disc diameters and size in the CRVO fellow eyes were not different from normal subjects. Optic disc size appears not to be the pathogenesis of CRVO.
