    Summary

    A new system using stereoscopic fundus photographs reliably quantifies optic disc cupping. This objective measure is crucial for glaucoma diagnosis and patient monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Glaucoma Research

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of optic disc cupping is essential for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma.
    • Existing methods may lack objectivity or reliability in population-based studies and clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel system for quantifying optic disc cupping using stereoscopic fundus photographs.
    • To assess the reliability and practicality of this new measurement system.

    Main Methods:

    • A system was developed utilizing stereoscopic fundus photographs to measure optic disc cupping based on cup contour.
    • Measurements included longest and shortest cup and disc diameters, performed by two independent observers.

    Main Results:

    • High correlation coefficients (0.77–0.88) were observed for inter-observer measurements of cup and disc diameters.
    • Mean cup-to-disc ratios showed excellent agreement (within 0.04) between observers.
    • The system demonstrated high inter- and intra-observer reliability.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed stereoscopic fundus photograph system provides a reliable and objective measure of optic disc cupping.
    • This method is cost-effective and suitable for both clinical practice and large-scale population-based studies, particularly for glaucoma assessment.
