Cataracts represent a widespread ocular condition that profoundly affects an individual’s vision and overall quality of life. Timely detection proves crucial for effective treatment, yet existing methodologies often entail invasive and discomforting procedures. Hence, an innovative approach is proposed for cataract detection utilizing an ensemble framework, which presents numerous significant advantages. It uses an ensemble framework amalgamating ResNet and DenseNet pre-trained learning models for cataract detection. This strategy enhances the precision and dependability of diagnosing cataracts. On the other hand, it diminishes false positives and negatives, consequently ensuring more accurate and timely diagnoses. Beyond mere accuracy, our ensemble framework brings about additional benefits. It bolsters the resilience of cataract detection by mitigating the influence of individual model biases and variances. Furthermore, it enhances the system’s adaptability, making it applicable to various patient demographics and ocular conditions. Such adaptability is significant in the global healthcare landscape, facilitating effective deployment across diverse regions and populations. Moreover, our approach alleviates the discomfort and invasiveness associated with conventional cataract detection methods, promoting early diagnosis and reducing patient apprehension. Streamlining the diagnostic process also eases the burden on healthcare providers and improves overall patient care.
