Claim Text:
1. A method of improving the accuracy of ophthalmic diagnostic measurements of disease in the eye of a patient, said method comprising: collecting optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements of the eye of a patient using an optical coherence tomography device, said OCT measurements corresponding to scattering intensity as a function of depth in the eye; collecting visual field test measurements on the eye of a patient using a perimetry device; adjusting the values of a plurality of the measurements made from one of above collection steps based on the measurements from the other collection step and á priori knowledge of the relationship between the two types of measurements, wherein said adjusting step includes one or both of: (a) transforming the OCT measurements using a mathematical function based on the visual field test measurements obtained from corresponding regions of the eye; or (b) transforming the visual field test measurements using a mathematical function based on the OCT measurement obtained from corresponding regions of the eye; and storing or displaying the adjusted value.
