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 a...
Vasculature morphology and hierarchy are essential for blood perfusion. Human retinal circulation is an intricate vascular system emerging and remerging at the optic nerve head (ONH). Tracing retinal vascular branching from ONH can allow detailed mor...
Glaucoma, an optic nerve disease resulting in blindness if left untreated, is a difficult condition in healthcare in view of its diagnostic difficulties. Past approaches are based on assessment of the fundus images and the size of the cup and the dis...
Glaucoma detection from fundus images often relies on biomarkers such as the Cup-to-Disc Ratio (CDR) and Rim-to-Disc Ratio (RDR). However, precise segmentation of the optic cup and disc is challenging due to low-contrast boundaries and the interferen...

Accurate segmentation of the optic disk (OD) and optic cup (OC) regions of the optic nerve head is a critical step in glaucoma diagnosis. Existing architectures based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) still suffer from insufficient global infor...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To design a deep learning (DL) model for the detection of glaucoma progression with a longitudinal series of macular optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images.

Pathological myopia is a severe eye condition that can cause serious complications like retinal detachment and macular degeneration, posing a threat to vision. Optic disc segmentation helps measure changes in the optic disc and observe the surroundin...
Glaucoma is a group of neurodegenerative diseases that can lead to irreversible blindness. Yet, the progression can be slowed down if diagnosed and treated early enough. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) can non-invasively provide valua...
