Keratoconus, by its name, is the condition of the eye wherein the cornea assumes a conical shape due to the thinning and protrusion of the cornea. Keratoconus, though bilateral, can be asymmetric in that it can progress differently in the eyes of the patient. Keratoconus can start from early adulthood and progress till the age of 40. Early detection of keratoconus is vital in preventing vision loss or costly repairs. The diagnostic tools available range from keratoscope to videokeratoscope but involves human efforts and thereby human errors. Automatic detection of keratoconus is required for large screening camps. With the advances in artificial intelligence techniques for medical diagnosis, new algorithms and techniques have been developed for the early and rapid screening of keratoconus, which aids clinicians in fast diagnosis. Artificial Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, Radial Basis Function Neural Networks, Decision Trees, Computational Neural Networks, and various optimisation techniques have been used in different studies. The progression of keratoconus is identified by analyzing the shape of the cornea with Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Local Directional Pattern (LDP), Local Optimal Oriented Pattern (LOOP), and Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO) to detect the changes in cornea edges. The image processing with the CSO algorithm optimizes the result for the changes in the cornea and keratoconus detection. A new automated solution for detecting keratoconus is presented that employs texture analysis techniques such as LBP, LDP, LOOP, and CSO. The CSO extracts morphological and granular features from images of the cornea. The proposed method can be used to detect keratoconus by identifying the cornea shape change and improving clinical decisions. Further research can be in the way of grading the level of keratoconus.
