Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Medical Imaging
Artificial Intelligence

Background:

Pathological myopia, a severe form of nearsightedness, can lead to blindness.
Characterized by posterior eye pathologies like macular degeneration and posterior staphyloma.
Early detection is crucial for managing the condition and preventing vision loss.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a machine learning (ML) model for the automatic detection of pathological myopia.
To utilize deep learning, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs), for image analysis.
To accurately classify fundus images as either normal or indicative of pathological myopia.

Main Methods:

Fundus images were preprocessed.
A convolutional neural network (CNN) model was designed and implemented.
The CNN model automatically extracted features and classified images.

Main Results:

The best performing CNN model achieved an Area Under the Curve (AUC) score of 0.9845.
The model obtained a best validation loss of 0.1457.
The results demonstrate high efficacy in detecting pathological myopia.

Conclusions:

The developed ML approach, using CNNs, is effective for automatic pathological myopia detection.
This method shows potential for clinical application in diagnosing degenerative myopia.
Accurate and early detection can aid in preventing blindness associated with pathological myopia.
