The optic disc lies nasal (medial) to the macula lutea. It is normally circular or oval in shape, becoming more oval if astigmatism is present. It is paler than the rest of the retina.
The physiological cup is a central depression in the disc, whereas the fovea centralis is a depression in the centre of the macula.
The physiological cup is deeper in glaucoma.
