The subjectivity of objective evaluation of torsion on fundus photographs by practicing strabismologists.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the variability of assessing the ocular torsion on fundus photographs among strabismus surgeons.

Methods

This was a prospective, noninterventional, clinical trial involving 16 trained and experienced squint surgeons participated in the study. Two videos were prepared of a total of 10 fundus pictures with or without lines for disc foveal angle. The first video had a 4 s viewing time for each fundus image. The second video had the disc foveal lines drawn and a similar 4 s viewing time for each image. The participants were asked to grade the torsion. The primary outcome measure was to assess the agreement between the raters for ocular torsion measurement. Difference in the response of observers from the standard response was the secondary outcome measure.
