The optic disc is the beginning of the optic nerve as all the light collecting nerves bundle together and leave the eye en route to the vision areas of the brain.
The normal color of the disc is orangey-pink. If an optic nerve is inflamed as can be the case in multiple sclerosis; if there is poor blood supply to the optic nerve; if the eye is suffering from very far advanced glaucoma and other reasons, then the optic disc will be very pale to white in color.
