Congenital optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a condition in which one or both optic nerves are not fully developed, giving the appearance of abnormally small, pale optic nerve heads upon fundus examination (AAPOS, n.d.). In comparison to the size of the disc, the retinal blood vessels appear larger than normal, when in actuality the vasculature is of normal caliber (Kaur et al, 2013).

Once in such company, the person can begin to give birth to fine ideas and conversation and continue up the erotic ladder (Plato, 211c). One must then fall in love with physical beauty in general, realizing that all the world’s beautiful bodies are really one and the same. He will now regard physical beauty as truly unimportant. (Plato, 210b). After the beauty of law and custom comes the transition from the…

Retinoblastoma is highly sensitive to radiation. External beam radiotherapy is used for cancers that are in both eyes, or extend in to the bones of the eye, or when an eye contains a tumor larger than 16mm. It is also used when the tumor is near the fovea, multiple tumors are present, or it can be used to treat the eye socket after the eye has been removed. Plaque radiotherapy is for cancers that are in one eye, or concentrated, which creates less collateral damage usually seen in external beam…
