Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness in Pakistan, contributing to more than 54% of blindness cases in Pakistan, primarily due to poor living conditions, nutritional deficiencies, and limited healthcare access. Early detection is critical to avoid invasive treatments, but current diagnostic approaches often identify cataracts at advanced stages. This paper presents an advanced,automated cataract detection system using deep learning specifically the ResNet-50 architecture, to address this gap. The model processes fundus retinal images curated from diverse datasets, classified by ophthalmologic experts through a rigorous three-stage process. By leveraging the ResNet-50 model, cataracts ar... More >
