Computer program may more accurately identify glaucomatous disc changes than hand-held stereo viewer
Researchers were able to more accurately identify progression or non-progression of glaucomatous optic discs using a computer program instead of manually examining stereoscopic disc photographs, according to a study. The prospective evaluation included two resident ophthalmologists and one glaucoma fellow who evaluated 140 image pairs from 100 glaucomatous or ocular hypertensive patient eyes using the computerized MatchedFlicker software program (EyeIC) and a traditional hand-held stereo viewer.
