Abstract

With the rising prevalence of retinal diseases, identifying eye diseases at an early stage is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of irreversible blindness. But Ophthalmologists face challenges in detecting subtle symptoms that may indicate the presence of a disease before it progresses to an advanced stage Among these challenges, eye diseases can present with a wide range of symptoms, and some conditions may share similar signs. To solve these difficulties, in the research proposed YOLOV8(You Only Look Once) Lightweight Self-Attention model to classify seven different retinal diseases. In this regard, the dataset that have been used in this study contains 5787 images from three different sources (Roboflow, Kaggle and Medical Clinics) were included in the seven classes of Glaucoma, Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Cataract, Diabetic retinopathy (DR), and Retinal Vein Occlusion, which comprises of Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) and Central Retinal Occlusion (CRVO) and normal.  As a results, the model has proven excellent performance in its classification ability. Boasting an average classification accuracy of 94% across the seven disease with precsition 96.2%, recall 96.6%and f1 score was 96.3% At the time of training it was 0.6 Houres(H). When compaired with Resnet50, VGG16 results underscore the model’s superior performance in precision and computational efficiency compared. The algorithm's evaluation reveals its superiority when compared to earlier pertinent research, making it a trustworthy method for classifying retinal illnesses.
