arXiv:2603. 07131v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) show immense potential for automated ophthalmic diagnosis.
arXiv:2608. 09752v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retinal fundus images frequently exhibit multiple co-occurring pathologies, yet standard deep learning classifiers apply static, identical computation to every image regardless of the underlying disease distribution.

arXiv:2607. 21068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated detection of vision impairing retina-based ocular conditions from fundus images is important for early screening, timely referral and reducing dependency on specialist-only assessment, for which neural network-based deep learning (DL) models have been widely utilized.
arXiv:2607. 29462v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adapting deep learning models to profound clinical heterogeneity typically relies on parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) to avoid the severe overfitting associated with full end-to-end network updates.
arXiv:2606. 16234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is critical for assessing retinal vascular abnormalities, but its acquisition is invasive and not always feasible.
arXiv:2603. 18846v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Foundation models are used to extract transferable representations from large amounts of unlabeled data, typically via self-supervised learning (SSL).
arXiv:2607. 03959v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment worldwide, highlighting the need for accurate and accessible screening tools.
arXiv:2607. 04673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, yet most automated diagnosis systems rely on opaque deep-learning models that offer little clinical interpretability.
Color Fundus Photography (CFP) is a primary non-invasive imaging modality for large-scale screening of ophthalmic and systemic diseases. Existing surveys mainly summarize task-specific algorithms, datasets, or preprocessing techniques independently, lacking a unified perspective on their co-evolution with modern artificial intelligence.
arXiv:2607. 25324v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often caused by elevated intraocular pressure.
Color Fundus Photography (CFP) offers a low-cost and non-invasive route for ischemic heart disease (IHD) screening, but current studies are limited by scarce public benchmarks and ineffective fusion of retinal images with sparse clinical variables. We propose IDNet, a multimodal framework with a Cross-Modal Distillation Aggregator (CDA) that uses learnable queries to sequentially integrate left-eye, right-eye, and clinical features, mitigating the imbalance between high-dimensional visual features and low-dimensional tabular inputs.
arXiv:2607. 15047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mild Cognitive Impairment is a critical early stage of cognitive decline that frequently precedes Alzheimer's disease, yet its automated detection from neuropsychological drawing tests remains fundamentally constrained by data scarcity, class imbalance, and diagnostic ambiguity near clinical boundaries.
arXiv:2607. 27289v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The promise of multimodal fusion lies in combining complementary sources of evidence, yet more evidence does not always yield a better prediction.
