Fundus photographs of the morning glory optic disc. a Non-contracted phase. The optic disc was excavated and enlarged. It was surrounded by an elevated and pigmented choroid. b Contracted phase. When the optic disc contracted, the diameter became smaller (the blue color is a reflex of the contact lens.). c Overlapped OCT image of the contracted (red) and the non-contracted (white) phases of the morning glory optic disc. It showed that the base of the optic disc slightly moved forward during the contracted phase

Fluorescein angiography of the right eye. a Before contraction. b When contraction occurred, some hyperfluorescent fluid was ejected from the temporal part (thick arrow) of the morning glory disc and floated into the vitreous cavity (white arrows)
