Fig 1.
Optic coherence tomographic image of the optic nerve head: A perpendicular orange line was drawn through the middle of the yellow dash line connecting the inner edges of neural canal opening (delineated by white arrows).
Fig 2.
Optic coherence tomographic image of the optic nerve head: On each side of the orange line, a line was drawn (gray line) with a length of 1500 μm to each side.
The two ends of this line (yellow vertical arrows) marked the two ends of the retinal pigment epithelium / Bruch´s membrane plane (between points A and B).
Fig 3.
Optic coherence tomographic image of the optic nerve head: The Bruch´s membrane opening reference plane was defined as the red line between “A” and “B”. The angle between this line and the horizontal was defined as the angle of the optic disc rotation (as based on Bruch´s membrane opening plane).
