Abstract

A serious eye condition called cataracts can cause blindness. Early and accurate cataract detection is the most effective method for reducing risk and averting blindness. The optic nerve head is harmed by the neurodegenerative condition known as glaucoma. Machine learning and deep learning systems for glaucoma and cataract detection have recently received much attention in research. The automatic detection of these diseases also depends on deep learning transfer learning platforms like VeggNet, ResNet, and MobilNet. The authors proposed MobileNetV1 and MobileNetV2 based on an optimized architecture building lightweight deep neural networks using depth-wise separable convolutions. The experiments used publicly available data sets with both cataract & normal and glaucoma & normal images, and the results showed that the proposed model had the highest accuracy compared to the other models.
