Abstract:  Integrated eye imaging is initiated by International Society Imaging in the Eye (ISIE). It is combined optical coherence tomography (OCT) and automated perimetry with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT), fundus photograph/fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), tonometry, and visual electrophysiology testing. It is necessary to establish platform of integrated imaging, Forum software, morphology and function and then to make an overall evaluation of glaucoma damage. On the other hand, it is important to reduce data bias by reasonable standardized methods, rather than only by database of instruments. It cannot be over emphasized that to analyze the specificity, sensitivity and repeatability of measurements especially in early diagnosis and prognosis. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2014, 23: 4-5)
