  • RCRS = research clinic reference standard observation; Obs 1 = stereo photograph assessment by first observer; Obs 2 = Stereo photograph assessment by second observer; R = right eye; L = left eye; SD = standard deviation of paired differences; CI = confidence interval (for the mean); TL = tolerance limit for change; ICC = intraclass correlation coefficient.
