Major causes of visual impairment, particularly diabetic retinopathy (DR) and aged-related macular degeneration (AMD), has posed significant challenges for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Early detection and prompt intervention can help prevent severe consequences for patients. The study presents a novel approach for detecting eye diseases using a two-stream convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The first stream processes preprocessed fundus images, while the second stream analyzes high-pass filtered fundus images in the spatial frequency domain. To assess the model’s performance, we use the APTOS 2019 dataset, which was originally compiled for the Asia Pacific Tele-Ophthalmology Society 2019 Blindness Detection competition and is publicly available on Kaggle. Our method shows promise as an early screening tool for DR detection with an accuracy of 0.986.
