    Estimating the cup/disk (C/D) ratio, crucial for optic nerve head evaluation, shows significant variability among optometry students. A new method is presented to help clinicians logically deduce C/D ratio magnitude estimations.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Cup/disk (C/D) ratio estimation is vital for assessing optic nerve head cupping.
    • Accurate C/D ratio determination involves both margin identification and magnitude estimation.
    • Variability in C/D ratio estimation can impact clinical diagnosis and patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the magnitude estimation component of C/D ratio assessment.
    • To highlight the variability in C/D ratio estimation among optometry students.
    • To introduce a practical method for improving C/D ratio magnitude estimation in clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Fourth-year optometry students estimated C/D ratios from optic nerve head photographs and drawings.
    • A survey assessed the methods used by faculty clinicians for C/D ratio estimation.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • A novel, logical method for magnitude estimation was developed and presented.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant variability was observed among students in C/D ratio estimation, even with unambiguous margins.
    • A substantial percentage of clinicians (41%) reported no conscious method for C/D ratio estimation.
    • The presented method offers a straightforward approach to deducing C/D ratio magnitude.

    Conclusions:

    • The magnitude estimation of C/D ratio is a significant source of variability in clinical practice.
    • Optometry students exhibit considerable variability in C/D ratio estimation.
    • The proposed method provides a valuable tool for enhancing the accuracy and consistency of C/D ratio assessment by clinicians.
