What is Glaucoma

Handbook of Research on Applications and Implementations of Machine Learning Techniques
Glaucoma is a group of related eye disorders that cause damage to the optic nerve that carries information from the eye to the brain. The increased pressure, called intraocular pressure, can damage the optic nerve, which transmits images to your brain. If the damage continues, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss. Without treatment, glaucoma can cause total permanent blindness within a few years.

Abstract
The retinal parts segmentation has been recognized as a key component in both ophthalmological and cardiovascular sickness analysis. The parts of retinal pictures, vessels, optic disc, and macula segmentations, will add to the indicative outcome. In any case, the manual segmentation of retinal parts is tedious and dreary work, and it additionally requires proficient aptitudes. This chapter proposes a supervised method to segment blood vessel utilizing deep learning methods. All the more explicitly, the proposed part has connected the completely convolutional network, which is normally used to perform semantic segmentation undertaking with exchange learning. The convolutional neural system has turned out to be an amazing asset for a few computer vision assignments. As of late, restorative picture investigation bunches over the world are rapidly entering this field and applying convolutional neural systems and other deep learning philosophies to a wide assortment of uses, and uncommon outcomes are rising constantly.
