Retinal image analysis is done through different diagnosis methods in this modern Ophthalmology .Many novel methods are present to segment blood vessels and optic disc in the fundus retinal images. This methods are used for non-intrusive diagnosis since in the modern ophthalmology ,morphology of blood vessel and optic disc is an important indicator for some of the diseases like diabetic retinop...

Image segmentation plays a vital role in image analysis for diagnosis of various retinopathy diseases. For the detection of glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, manual examination of the optic disc is the standard clinical procedure. The proposed method makes use of the circular transform to automatically locate and extract the Optic Disc (OD) from the retinal fundus images. The circular transfor...

Pseudopapilledema is used for pathologies that mimicking the optic disc edema. Among these, pseudo papilledema is commonly produced by optic disc drusen (ODD). A 17-year-old female patient was referred to the ophthalmology department from child neurology department with papilledema diagnosis because of bilateral elevated and blurred optic disc. Following ophthalmologic evaluation with fundus ex...

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of loss of vision in the world. Examining the head of optic nerve (cup-to-disc ratio) is very important for diagnosing glaucoma and for patient monitoring after diagnosis. Images of optic disc and optic cup are acquired by fundus camera as well as Optical Coherence Tomography. The optic disc and optic cup segmentation techniques are used to isolate the relev...

We report a case of bilateral uveitis and optic disc swelling with Chiari I malformation. A 16-year-old girl was admitted to our clinic due to conjunctival hyperaemia and blurred vision in her right eye. Ophthalmologic and systemic examinations were performed. Visual acuity was 0.7 (OD) and 1.0 (OS). Bilateral optic disc swelling was observed. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated bilateral reti...

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that leads to vision loss. As it cannot be cured, detecting the disease in time is important. This research proposes optic disc and optic cup segmentation using superpixel classification for glaucoma screening. It uses the 2D fundus images. In optic disc segmentation, clustering algorithms are used to classify each superpixel as disc or nondisc. For optic cup s...

EDITOR,—Doubling of the optic disc is rare and can manifest as true or pseudo doubling. A 64 year old man was referred by his physician who noted “a clear area between each optic disc on both sides” during a routine check. Visual acuities and anterior segments were normal. Funduscopy revealed an appearance simulating double optic discs on each side. The right eye showed a 2 disc diameter (DD) s...

BACKGROUND Recent reports indicate that eyes with normal pressure glaucoma have larger optic discs than eyes with primary open angle glaucoma or normal eyes. This study was performed to find whether, in normal pressure glaucoma, a large disc is associated with more optic nerve damage than a small disc. METHODS Colour optic disc photographs of 74 patients with normal pressure glaucoma were ass...

We cross-sectionally examined the relationship between age, optic disc area, refraction, and gender and optic disc topography and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements, using optical imaging techniques. One eye from each of 155 Caucasian subjects (age range 23.0-80.8 y) without ocular pathology was included. Measurements were obtained by using the Heidelberg Retina Tomography (HRT), the...
