Predictive Deep Learning Applications in Ophthalmology

Deep learning is a state-of-the-art machine learning technique used in medical image analysis. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying deep learning methods to perform prediction and prognostication tasks. Broadly speaking, these applications can be characterized as structure-structure prediction, structure-function prediction, disease onset/progression prediction and treatment response prediction. This review aims to summarize the most recent studies in this area, with a particular focus on age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
