Name:
Increased cup-to-disc ratio
Synonym:
Elevated cup to disc ratio; Increased cup disc ratio
Definition:
An elevation in the ratio of the diameter of the cup of the optic disc to the total diameter of the disc. The optic disc has an orange-pink rim with a pale centre (the cup) that does not contain neuroretinal tissue. An increase in this ratio therefore may indicate a decrease in the quantity of healthy neuroretinal cells.
