Abstract

The day-to-day popularity of computer-aided detection is increasing medical field. Cataract is a main cause of blindness in the entire world. Compared with the other eye diseases, computer-aided development in the area of cataract is remaining underexplored. Several researches are done for automated detection of cataract. Many study groups have proposed many computer-aided systems for detecting cataract, classifying the different type, identification of stages, and calculation of lens power selection prior to cataract surgery. With the advancement in the artificial intelligence and machine learning, future cataract-related research work can undergo very useful achievements in the coming days. The paper studies various recent researches done related to cataract detection, classification, and grading using various artificial intelligence techniques. Various comparisons are done based on the methodology used, type of dataset, and the accuracy of various methodologies. Based on the comparative study, research gap is identified, and a new method is proposed which can overcome the disadvantages and gaps of the studied work.
