Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Glaucoma Research

Background:

  • Glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring rely on quantitative structural parameters.
  • Accurate measurement of test-retest variability is essential for detecting disease progression.
  • Various imaging devices have been developed for glaucoma assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review test-retest variability data for glaucoma imaging devices.
  • To enable clinicians in interpreting measurement results and optimizing follow-up frequency.
  • To compare the performance of different quantitative glaucoma assessment tools.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of reported Coefficient of Variation (CV), Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), and Minimum Detectable Changes (MDC) values.
  • Analysis of data from stereo-disc photography, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopes, scanning laser polarimeters, time-domain OCT, spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT), anterior-segment OCT, and ultrasound biomicroscopy.
  • Utilizing Bland-Altman analysis principles for variability estimation.

Main Results:

  • Compilation of CV, ICC, and MDC values for diverse glaucoma imaging modalities.
  • Identification of spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) as a leading technology due to data volume and relatively better test-retest variability.
  • Highlighting the need for further improvements in SD-OCT test-retest variability measurement.

Conclusions:

  • Clinicians can use this review to interpret glaucoma imaging results and guide patient management.
  • Test-retest variability is a critical factor in selecting and applying glaucoma imaging devices.
  • While SD-OCT shows promise, ongoing advancements are needed to enhance its measurement precision for glaucoma progression monitoring.
