AB  - We describe a system for the automated diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy and 
      glaucoma using fundus and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Automatic 
      screening will help the doctors to quickly identify the condition of the patient 
      in a more accurate way. The macular abnormalities caused due to diabetic 
      retinopathy can be detected by applying morphological operations, filters and 
      thresholds on the fundus images of the patient. Early detection of glaucoma is 
      done by estimating the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) thickness from the OCT 
      images of the patient. The RNFL thickness estimation involves the use of active 
      contours based deformable snake algorithm for segmentation of the anterior and 
      posterior boundaries of the retinal nerve fiber layer. The algorithm was tested 
      on a set of 89 fundus images of which 85 were found to have at least mild 
      retinopathy and OCT images of 31 patients out of which 13 were found to be 
      glaucomatous. The accuracy for optical disk detection is found to be 97.75%. The 
      proposed system therefore is accurate, reliable and robust and can be realized.
