Diagnosis of early glaucoma likely combined with high myopia by integrating OCT thickness map and standard automated and Pulsar perimetries by Ai-Su Yang, Hong-Siang Wang, Te-Jung Li, Chin-Hsin Liu, Chung-Ming Chen

“…Moreover, existing early-stage detection methods rely on unimodal information and exclude subjects with high myopia, which contradicts clinical practice and overlooks the adverse effect of high myopia on prediction performance. To develop a clinically practical tool, this study proposes a deep-learning-based, end-to-end early-stage glaucoma detection framework designed for a cohort likely with high myopia. …”
