The ophthalmic image processor (IS 2000) was developed by the authors to provide a eans of acquiring images and applying technology to aid in the diagnosis of various disorders of the eye. Nelson'- has previously reported on the system design considerations, the hardware configuration and the system operation. The IS 2000 system has undergone nine months of clinical trials, acquiring images of the cornea, lens, retina and the optic nerve. Various analysis routines have been developed and tested to aid in the diagnosis of diseases of the eye. Clinical trials were begun in May of 1984. During that time a number of small modifications have been implemented in the system and analysis routines developed or modified in the intervening time.
