Purpose: To establish whether deep learning methods are able to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of time-domain (TD) OCT images to approach that of spectral-domain (SD) OCT images.

Design: Method agreement study and progression detection in a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial for open-angle glaucoma (OAG), the United Kingdom Glaucoma Treatment Study (UKGTS).

Participants: The training and validation cohort comprised 77 stable OAG participants with TD OCT and SD OCT imaging at up to 11 visits within 3 months.
