Abstract

Purpose: The clinical evaluation of ocular movements plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating ocular motility disorders. This study introduces a novel deep learning-based image analysis technique for automatic measurement of ocular movements from photographs, aiming to explore the relationship between ocular movements and age.
Methods: A cohort of 207 healthy volunteers (414 eyes), spanning ages 5 to 60 years, participated in the study. Photographs were taken capturing cardinal gaze positions. Manual measurements of ocular movements were conducted using ImageJ with a modified limbus test, alongside automated measurements using our deep learning-based image analysis. Correlation analyses and BlandAltman analyses were performed to evaluate agreement between manual and automated measurements. Additionally, generalized estimating
