Digital Image Analysis of the Angle and Optic Nerve: A Simple, Fast, and Low-Cost Method for Glaucoma Assessment.

While OCT imaging is rapidly progressing in the area of optic disc and chamber angle assessment, rising healthcare costs and lack of availability of the technology open a demand for alternative and cost-minimizing forms of image analysis in glaucoma. Volumetric, geometric, and segmentational data obtained through digital image analysis correspond well to those obtained by OCT imaging.
