    A new twin-prism stereoseparator for fundus cameras captures high-quality optic disc stereophotographs. This reliable instrument aids in monitoring changes to optic disc topography.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Optical Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate stereoscopic imaging of the optic disc is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma and other optic neuropathies.
    • Existing methods for optic disc stereophotography may have limitations in image quality, stereobase control, or simultaneous image capture.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel twin-prism stereoseparator designed for integration with the Zeiss fundus camera.
    • To assess the capability of the stereoseparator in producing high-quality stereoscopic images of the optic disc.
    • To determine the reliability of the system for monitoring changes in optic disc topography.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a twin-prism stereoseparator attachment for the Zeiss fundus camera.

  • Simultaneous capture of both stereoscopic images on a single film frame.
  • Measurement of the stereobase range (2.0–4.5 mm) and its linear correlation with the entrance pupil size (4.0–6.5 mm).

    • Main Results:

    • The stereoseparator successfully produced high-quality stereophotographs of the optic disc.
    • Both images of the stereopair were recorded simultaneously on the same film frame.
    • A predictable, linear relationship was observed between the stereobase and the entrance pupil size.

    Conclusions:

    • The twin-prism stereoseparator offers a reliable and effective method for obtaining stereoscopic images of the optic disc.
    • This system facilitates the monitoring of subtle changes in optic disc topography over time.
    • The instrument enhances diagnostic capabilities in ophthalmology through improved stereophotography.
