Binocular data typically arise in ophthalmology where pairs of eyes are evaluated through some diagnostic procedure for presence of certain diseases. Treating eyes as independent and adopting the usual approach in estimating the sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test is unwise because there is a correlation between eyes. Binocular accuracy measures are assessed and compare them with conventional measures in a simulation study.
