Fig 1.
Optical coherent tomographic image and corresponding optic disc photograph of an eye with parapapillary gamma zone.
White arrow to pink arrow: parapapillary alpha zone with irregular retinal pigment epithelium; pink arrow to yellow arrow: parapapillary beta zone with presence of Bruch´s membrane and absence of retinal pigment epithelium; yellow arrow to black arrow: parapapillary gamma zone with absence of Bruch´s membrane; black arrow: optic disc border
