| intraocular part of optic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The part of the optic nerve within the eye; it is divided into intralaminar, postlaminar, and prelaminar parts. Synonym: pars intraocularis nervi optici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischemic optic neuropathy | Optic nerve neuropathy secondary to hypoperfusion of the low pressure posterior ciliary arteries supplying the optic nerve head (nonarteritic) or to temporal arteritis (arteritic). (05 Mar 2000) |
