OPTIC

OPTIC is an acronym used primarily in medical imaging and eye health to evaluate optic nerve health. It stands for Optic nerve, Pupils, Testing (vision), Imaging, and Circulation (blood flow). By assessing these areas, healthcare providers can detect and monitor conditions like glaucoma or optic neuritis. The process includes examining the optic nerve head, checking pupil responses, testing visual fields, imaging the nerve with advanced techniques, and evaluating blood flow. Together, these steps help identify issues affecting vision and guide appropriate treatment.
