BACKGROUND: Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is widely acknowledged as a principal cause of vision loss in the elderly. Currently, the therapeutic interventions available in clinical practice fail to achieve satisfactory outcomes. Therefore, it...
This study compared an automated deep learning algorithm with certified human graders from the Vienna Reading Center (VRC) in identifying intra- (IRF) and subretinal fluid (SRF) in OCT scans of patients treated for neovascular age-related macular deg...
Retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy will lead to irreversible blindness without timely diagnosis and treatment. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imag...
AIMS: This study aims to investigate whether denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) could generate realistic retinal images, and if they could be used to improve the performance of a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) ensemble for mult...
Retinal diseases recognition is still a challenging task. Many deep learning classification methods and their modifications have been developed for medical imaging. Recently, Vision Transformers (ViT) have been applied for classification of retinal d...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible deterioration of vision in older adults. Previous studies have found that exposure to pesticides can lead to a worsening of AMD. In this paper, information on pesticide e...

BACKGROUND: In this era of active online communication, patients increasingly share their healthcare experiences, concerns, and needs across digital platforms. Leveraging these vast repositories of real-world information, Digital Listening enables th...
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology is transforming the field, offering new opportunities to enhance diagnostic accuracy, personalize treatment plans, and improve service delivery. This review provides a comprehensive ove...
The accurate diagnosis of retinal diseases, such as Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), is essential for preventing vision loss. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging plays a crucial role in identifying these...
