Optic nerve images within the 45° non-mydriatic and non-stereo DRS image were evaluated by two methods: 1) grading by three glaucoma specialists, and 2) a computer-aided automated segmentation system to determine the vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR). Using VCDR from clinical assessment as gold standard, VCDR results from two methods were compared to that from clinical assessment. Inter-grader agreement was assessed by computing intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). In addition, sensitivity and specificity were calculated.Results: Among 245 fundus photos, 166 images met quality specifications for analysis. Fifty images were not processed by the automated system due to the poor quality of the optic disc, and 29 images did not include the optic nerve head due to the patient movement during the photo acquisition. The ICC value for the VCDR between the gold standard clinical exam and the automated system was 0.41, indicating fair agreement. The ICC value between the three ophthalmologists and the gold standard was 0.51, 0.56, and 0.69, respectively, indicating fair to moderate agreement.Discussion: Assessing the VCDR on non-mydriatic and non-stereo DRS fundus photographs by either the computer-aided automated segmentation system or by glaucoma specialists showed similar fair to moderate agreement. In summary, optic nerve assessment for glaucoma from these 45° non-mydriatic and non-stereo DRS images is not yet suitable for tele-glaucoma screening.Keywords: telemedicine, tele-glaucoma, automated screening system, diabetic retinopathy screening, glaucoma screeningAlmazroa AAWoodward MANewman-Casey PAShah MMElam ARKamat SSKarvonen-Gutierrez CAWood SDKumar NMoroi SEDove Medical Pressarticletelemedicinetele glaucomaautomated screening systemdiabetic retinopathy screeningglaucoma screeningOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 3881-3890 (2020)
