Abstract

Purpose To determine whether monoscopic vs stereoscopic viewing impacts evaluation of optic disc photographs for glaucoma diagnosis in an expert population. Design Prospective observational study. Methods Twenty pairs of high-quality monoscopic and stereoscopic photographs of similar size and magnification (ie, 40 images), were selected to demonstrate a range of optic disc features from a total of 197 eyes of 197 patients with glaucoma and normal subjects recruited from a tertiary clinic. These were presented in randomized order via an interactive platform (http://stereo.gone-project.com/). Participants assessed 9 topographic features and estimated glaucoma likelihood for each photograph. Ma..
