Vision testing is the phenomenon of detecting the vision problems which
are generally undertaken to improve prognosis
and disabilities. Apart from visual acuity measurement and refractive
error problems, other eye related retinal disorders include
diabetic retinopathy, age related muscular degeneration and glaucoma.
Retinal imaging plays an important role in the detection of
these disorders. Early detection of these disorders can prevent the
permanent vision loss in patients. The aim of this research work
is to implement a software algorithmic program in the field of
ophthalmology for the detection of glaucoma. In the present work,
Glaucoma detection is done by cup to disc ratio measurement to locate
the damaged optic nerve head. DRIVE database is used to
acquire retinal images. Further codes are implemented using MATLAB
software to get the results. This software system can be
utilized everywhere, especially in school health programs in Himachal
Pradesh in urban as well as rural areas where it is difficult to
carry high maintenance ophthalmic machines.
