Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To identify whether deep learning (artificial intelligence) can provide better diagnostic power than that derived from any other glaucoma index. If so, we would like to predict the diagnosis and the risk factor for the patients for glaucoma merely from OCT images. Time: 2 yrs (1 yr data collection + 6 months training and testing of the algorithm + 6 months validation)  24 months 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
"To compare the performance of deep learning based diagnosis from OCT images against other clinicial methods currently being used.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

To summarize, we demonstrate as a proof of concept that it is possible to develop DL segmentation tools that are easily translatable across OCT devices without ever needing additional manual segmentation data. The core contributions of this study to achieve the same included: (1) the development of ONH-Net – a highly modular DL approach for the segmentation of 3D OCT volumes of the ONH; and (2) the development of the enhancer – a DL approach to enhance the OCT image quality from multiple devices and simultaneously reduce the differences in the device-specific image characteristics. Through our core contributions, we were able to address (as a proof of concept) the device-specific nature of DL algorithms, an important factor that limits the translations and wide-spread adoption of DL algorithms in clinics. Finally, we hope the proposed framework can potentially help patients for the longitudinal follow-up on multiple devices, and encourage multi-center glaucoma studies also.
