What is Peripapillary staphyloma?

Peripapillary staphyloma is a rare eye condition that is characterized by a bulging of the optic nerve head. It is caused by a thinning of the sclera, the white outer layer of the eye, which allows the optic nerve head to protrude outward. This condition can cause vision problems, including blurred vision, double vision, and blind spots. Treatment for peripapillary staphyloma typically involves laser therapy or surgery to reduce the bulging of the optic nerve head.
