Glaucoma is an incurable eye disease that leads to slow progressive degeneration of the retina. It cannot be fully cured, however, its progression can be controlled in case of early diagnosis. Unfortunately, due to the absence of clear symptoms during the early stages, early diagnosis are rare. Glaucoma must be detected at early stages since late diagnosis can lead to permanent vision loss. Glaucoma affects the retina by damaging the Optic Nerve Head (ONH). Its diagnosis is dependent on the measurements of Optic Cup (OC) and Optic Disc (OD) in the retina. Computer vision techniques have been shown to diagnose glaucoma effectively and correctly with little overhead. These techniques measure OC and OC dimensions using machine learning based classification and segmentation algorithms. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of various existing techniques that use machine learning to detect and diagnose glaucoma based on fundus images. Readers would be able to understand the challenges glaucoma presents from an image processing and machine learning stand-point and will be able to identify gaps in current research.
