optic nerve cupping

[nsnahmed]

  for the past 3 years i have been going to MD opthalmologist for eye exams,she is a glucoma expert,she always tells me that i have healthy eyes.I go there because my husband has glucoma.I have no history of this disease in my family.But yesterday i went to an optometrist and she told me my both optic discs are enlarged. last year i had feild vision test and it was perfect.Is it a sign of glucoma


This discussion is related to enlarged optic nerves.

Thank you very much,yesterday i went back to my opthalmologist, and she said the same that i have very little cupping,but it is normal.

One of your doctors is wrong.  Enlarged cups can be normal or abnormal.  Additional testing is needed.
