What is another word for optic disc?
Pronunciation: [ˈɒptɪk dˈɪsk] (IPA) 
The optic disc, also known as the optic nerve head, is the point at which the optic nerve enters the eye and connects to the retina. It is a small, round, whitish-yellow structure that can be seen when a doctor examines the inner eye using an ophthalmoscope. There are several synonyms for the optic disc, including the papilla, optic papilla, neuroretinal rim, and the blind spot. The papilla and optic papilla refer to the raised portion of the optic nerve head, while the neuroretinal rim is the area around the optic disc where the nerve fibers converge to form the optic nerve. The blind spot refers to the area where the optic nerve exits the eye, creating a region with no vision.
