Glaucoma, a disease of the optic nerve is caused by the increase in the intraocular pressure of the eye and results in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. The main characteristic of glaucoma is an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and also the blood vessels get narrower. Vessel segmentation is one of the main steps in retinal automated analysis tools. Retinal vessel segmentation and delineation of morphological attributes of retinal blood vessels are utilized for diagnosis, screening, treatment, and evaluation of various cardiovascular and ophthalmologic diseases. Since, the numbers of blood vessels are more in the glaucomatous eye , glaucoma is detected by means of ISNT ratio. The image processing operations are performed on glaucomatous and normal eyes. We have chosen ten images of each from the database and ISNT ratio is calculated to get the area of blood vessels in each of the four quadrants of the eye and hence glaucoma is detected.
