In diagnosing and monitoring optic nerve diseases such as glaucoma, an ophthalmologist often needs a stereoscopic view of the fundus to evaluate the damage of the optic disc. In this paper, we present an epipolar geometry evaluation method to perform a three-dimensional reconstruction of optic disc structure using a pair of
stereo images. The 3D model reconstruction algorithm is written using VC++, and this system can alleviate the burden of the physicians for observing the significant topographic characteristics from optic disc.
