Abstract:
The authors observed clinically typical case of unilateral coloboma of the optic disc. This patient, 5 years old Korean boy, visited to our clinic with the chief complaints of visual disturbance and intermittant exotropia of left defecting eye. The optic disc was enlarged about 2.5 times of normal optic disc diameter excavated about 7.0 Diopters in depth. The vision of colombomatous left eye was 20/50(n.c.) but the cause of defective vision was not evaluated certainely whether it might be due to coloboma itself or slight posterior subcapsular opacity of the lens.
