Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Deep learning (DL) has been used in differentiating a range of ophthalmic conditions. We describe a model to distinguish among fundus photos of acquired optic disc swelling due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), and healthy eyes.
