Points to remember:

  1. Testing of both visual acuity and visual fields is critical in the evaluation of the abnormal optic disc.
  2. A patient with a unilateral optic nerve lesion should have equal pupils in ambient light, but a positive swinging-flashlight test.
  3. A blurred disc margin is not diagnostic for papilledema. Other signs and symptoms must be considered.
  4. Chiasmal disease is most likely to cause a bitemporal field defect.
