Retinal edema is a retinal condition prominently found in diabetes patients, which is caused due to unusual deposit of cystoid fluid in the surrounding macula region. The risk of central vision loss and blindness greatly increases if this syndrome is not treated in time. Furthermore, the progression of the disease can also lead to blindness. The two widely used eye examination practices these days are Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and fundus photography. Both of these eye examination practices are non-invasive and can provide ophthalmologists with an early symptom of retinal or Macular Edema (ME). In literature, many researchers proposed automated algorithms for detecting ME from fundus or OCT scans. However, as per best of our knowledge, no automated system exists that incorporates both fundus and OCT images simultaneously for the diagnosis of ME. Therefore, in this research we made an …
