To determine whether there are more axons present in eyes with larger optic discs, the authors studied 16 eyes from 16 individuals whose eyes were donated for corneal transplantation. For each nerve, the axon count, axon diameter, and scleral canal area was measured. Total axon count decreased with age. Mean axon diameter increased with age. There was no statistically significant relation detected between axon count and scleral canal area. Multiple regression revealed that when corrected for the effect of age, eyes with smaller scleral canal areas had larger number of axons.
为了确定视盘较大的眼睛中是否存在更多轴突，作者研究了16名个体捐献用于角膜移植的16只眼睛。对于每条神经，测量了轴突数量、轴突直径和巩膜管面积。轴突总数随年龄增长而减少。平均轴突直径随年龄增长而增加。未检测到轴突数量与巩膜管面积之间存在统计学上的显著关系。多元回归分析显示，校正年龄影响后，巩膜管面积较小的眼睛轴突数量较多。
