Bergmeister's papilla

Bergmeister's papilla arises from the centre of the optic disc, consists of a small tuft of fibrous tissue and represents a remnant of the fetal hyaloid artery. The hyaloid artery provides nutrition to the lens during development in the fetus, and runs forward to the lens from the optic disc.

This plaque forms a fibrous sheath around the hyaloid artery where it leaves the optic disc. At
