Abstract

Little comparative information is available on reproducibility in the same population. The sensitivity and specificity of imaging instruments for the detection of early glaucoma is comparable to that of stereo color photography. At specificities of over 95%, sensitivities decreased to around 60%. At high specificities, imaging techniques do not show concordance in detecting the same glaucoma patients. The current literature does not provide the requisite evidence to validate any of these imaging instruments for widespread routine clinical use
