Big data for imaging assessment in glaucoma

Abstract: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with many individuals unaware of their condition until advanced stages, resulting in significant visual field impairment. Despite effective treatments, over 110 million people are projected to have glaucoma by 2040. Early d...

description Abstract: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with many individuals unaware of their condition until advanced stages, resulting in significant visual field impairment. Despite effective treatments, over 110 million people are projected to have glaucoma by 2040. Early detection and reliable monitoring are crucial to prevent vision loss. With the rapid development of computational technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) algorithms are emerging as potential tools for screening, diagnosing, and monitoring glaucoma progression. Leveraging vast data sources, these technologies promise to enhance clinical practice and public health outcomes by enabling earlier disease detection, progression forecasting, and deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms. This review evaluates the use of Big Data and AI in glaucoma research, providing an overview of most relevant topics and discussing various models for screening, diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, correlating structural and functional changes, assessing image quality, and exploring innovative technologies such as generative AI.
