Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative brain diseases worldwide. Therefore, accurate PD screening is crucial for early clinical intervention and treatment. Recent clinical research indicates that changes in pathology, such as the texture and thickness of the retinal layers, can serve as biomarkers for clinical PD diagnosis based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. However, the pathological manifestations of PD in the retinal layers are subtle compared to the more salient lesions associated with retinal diseases.
