Abstract

Many pathological conditions of the eye and of the body as a whole cause changes in the color and three-dimensional shape of the ocular fundus. Glaucoma is probably the best known of these conditions. (For some examples, see [1] through [9].) It causes increases in the pallor and cupping of the optic nerve head. Therefore, it would obviously be of great potential value for research on and diagnosis and treatment of these diseases if the shape and color of the fundus could be measured with precision, and several different procedures have been developed at various laboratories around the world to try to do that ([10] through [34]).
