• Abstract: Macular Holes, Central serous retinopathy and Diabetic Retinopathy are one of the most widespread maladies of the eyes responsible for either partial or complete vision loss, thus making it clear that early detection of the mentioned defects is detrimental for the well-being of the patient. This study intends to introduce the application of Vision Transformer and Support Vector Machine based hybrid architecture (ViT-SVM) and analyse its performance to classify the optical coherence topography (OCT) Scans with the intention to automate the early detection of these retinal defects.

• Retinopathy of Prematurity Stage Diagnosis Using Object Segmentation and Convolutional Neural Networks [68.96150598294072]
  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
