The 5 Rs of Examining the Optic Disc (Malik Y. Kahook, MD)

While a great deal of knowledge has been gained since the first introduction of the FORGE I lecture, I still find this information valuable for both trainees as well as seasoned eye care professionals. I tried to follow the original transcript as closely as I could with some minor additions.
