The anatomy at the lamina cribrosa in the normal cat eye

Arch Ophthalmol. 1982 Oct;100(10):1658-60. doi: 10.1001/archopht.1982.01030040636016.

Abstract

In normal cat eyes, the mean cross-sectional area of the nerve fiber bundles is greater in the temporal than in the nasal lamina cribrosa. The area occupied by the interbundle trabeculae is less in the temporal sectors than in the nasal sectors of the nerve. The number and the shape of the laminar pores are similar in all nerve sectors.
