Clinically the presence of nerve fibre bundle defects in glaucoma and non-glaucomatous lesions, and altitudinal or vertical hemianopias in pre-chiasmal lesions has been known for a long time. These suggest a sectoral lesion in the optic nerve or retina. In the majority of such cases, no retinal lesion is seen to account for these visual field defects. It has been presumed that the lesion lies i...
