Congenital disc anomalies like optic disc coloboma or optic disc pit are rare occurrences. Coloboma involving disc or optic disc coloboma occurs due to defective closure of choroidal fissure, which can be unilateral or bilateral. These anomalies are discovered on routine examination or referred to as an open-angle glaucoma suspect. These anomalies can be asymptomatic or may present with visual field defects. Here we report a case of both eyes angle closure glaucoma with incidental finding of unilateral coloboma involving disc in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography of the optic nerve head showed peripapillary nerve fiber loss. Thus assessing such patients for diagnosis and the progression of visual field defects in managing glaucoma is quite challenging.
