    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optic Nerve Imaging
    • Glaucoma Diagnosis

    Background:

    • Current optic disc grading methods lack detail and can be misleading.
    • Stereoscopic photography remains the gold standard, but is time-consuming.
    • Accurate optic disc assessment is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring optic nerve conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel, time-efficient method for grading the optic disc.
    • To provide a more comprehensive description of the optic disc and its features.
    • To improve the information conveyed compared to existing methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A proposed grading system incorporating vertical and horizontal dimensions.
    • Recording measurements of the optic disc and cup.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Calculating the disc-to-cup ratio.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method offers a more detailed optic disc description.
    • It captures both vertical and horizontal dimensions, unlike current methods.
    • The new approach is quick to record.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed optic disc grading method is superior to current techniques.
    • It provides a more informative and detailed assessment for clinicians.
    • This method can enhance the understanding of optic disc morphology and pathology.
