Glaucoma is a chronic and irreversible neurodegenerative disease in which the neuro-retinal nerve that connects the eye to the brain (optic nerve) is progressively damaged and patients suffer from vision loss and blindness. The World Health Organization has declared Glaucoma to be the second largest cause of blindness all over the world and it encompasses 15% of the blindness cases in world which makes 5.2 million of the world’s population and the number is expected to increase up to 80 million by 2020.
The dataset contains 66 fundus and 66 optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of the optic nerve head. The images are acquired in Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology (AFIO) using Topcon 3D OCT 2000 machine. The dataset has been annotated by multiple expert ophthalmologists based upon their expertise. The detailed description of the dataset is presented below:
|66||951 X 456||32||34||OCT|
|66||2032 X 1934||32||34||Fundus|
