Analysis of accuracy, feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and technological advancements.

Evaluation of AI and deep learning applications in diagnostic interpretation.

Main Results:

OCT offers high accuracy and reproducibility but is limited by cost and portability.
Optic disc photography is accessible and cost-effective but suffers from subjective interpretation.
AI shows potential to improve optic disc photo analysis, especially when trained on objective OCT data.

Conclusions:

Both OCT and optic disc photography are valuable for glaucoma screening but are not interchangeable.
AI integration, particularly with objective OCT data, may optimize large-scale glaucoma screening programs.
Addressing challenges like low positive predictive value (PPV) is essential for effective screening.
