“…Axial elongation because of high myopia changes the retinal structure and function, including morphology similar to that seen in patients with glaucoma, such as disc size, shape, neuroretinal rim shape, and pallor [14,15]. As high myopia worsens, the axial length of the eye elongates, and the optic disc stretches horizontally into an oval shape on fundus photography.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to use deep learning to identify glaucoma and normal eyes in groups with high myopia using fundus photographs. Methods: Patients who visited Tri-Services General Hospital from 1 November 2018 to 31 October 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with high myopia (spherical equivalent refraction of ≤−6.0 D) were included in the current analysis. Meanwhile, patients with pathological myopia were excluded. The participants were then divided into the high myopia group and high myopia glaucoma group. We used two classification models with the convolutional block attention module (CBAM), an attention mechanism module that enhances the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to investigate glaucoma cases. The learning data of this experiment were evaluated through fivefold cross-validation. The images were categorized into training, validation, and test sets in a ratio of 6:2:2. Grad-CAM visual visualization improved the interpretability of the CNN results. The performance indicators for evaluating the model include the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. Results: A total of 3088 fundus photographs were used for the deep-learning model, including 1540 and 1548 fundus photographs for the high myopia glaucoma and high myopia groups, respectively. The average refractive power of the high myopia glaucoma group and the high myopia group were −8.83 ± 2.9 D and −8.73 ± 2.6 D, respectively (p = 0.30). Based on a fivefold cross-validation assessment, the ConvNeXt_Base+CBAM architecture had the best performance, with an AUC of 0.894, accuracy of 82.16%, sensitivity of 81.04%, specificity of 83.27%, and F1 score of 81.92%. Conclusions: Glaucoma in individuals with high myopia was identified from their fundus photographs.
