Description
Summary:Objective Th aim of this study is to explore the diagnostic accuracy of smartphone-based D-EYE ophthalmoscopy in the diagnosis of optic nerve head (ONH) abnormalities and screening for glaucoma. Methods This is a prospective clinical-based validation study performed on 90 patients recruited from a tertiary teaching hospital. Patients underwent dilated fundus examination by slit-lamp and smartphone-based D-EYE fundoscopy operated by two experienced ophthalmologists. Results The diagnostic accuracy of smartphone-based D-EYE ophthalmoscopy of normal vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR) was acceptable (sensitivity 85.8%–96.4%; specificity 51.4%–96.4%). The D-EYE would often underestimate VCDR values as mean VCDR was significantly lower among overall and glaucoma cohorts (all p-value
