Abstract

Early detection and diagnosis of glaucoma, a crippling eye illness that causes irreversible vision loss, are essential for effective care. In this study, convolutional neural networks are used to diagnose glaucoma in a novel way (CNNs). The methodology incorporates local binary pattern (LBP) for image preprocessing using a rigorously curated dataset of Fundus Photos, which includes 1450 images with 899 cases of glaucoma and 551 non-glaucomatous images. Ten layers make up the proposed CNN architecture, including a Conv2D layer for feature extraction, a MaxPooling2D layer for down sampling, a Flatten layer for vectorization, and seven Dense levels for classification. By detecting glaucoma with an accuracy of 99% during training and a loss of 4%, this CNN model has demonstrated outstanding performance. On the test dataset, the model achieves a test loss of 30% and an accuracy of 94%. Confusion matrix, precision, recall, F1-score, support, Matthew’s correlation coefficient (MCC), and Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve are just a few of the metrics used to assess this model (AUC). The model’s strong performance in evaluation measures, along with its high accuracy and low loss, point to its potential for early glaucoma detection and, consequently, its critical role in maintaining vision and improving patient treatment. In order to achieve the goal of prompt diagnosis and treatment, this research advances automated glaucoma detection systems.
