摘要
The tear fluid reservoir (TFR) under the sclera lens is a unique characteristic providing optical neutralization of any aberrations from corneal irregularities. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) has become an important imaging modality for sclera lens fitting and visual rehabilitation therapy in both optometry and ophthalmology. Herein, we aimed to investigate whether deep learning can be used to segment the TFR from healthy and keratoconus eyes, with irregular corneal surfaces, in OCT images. Using AS-OCT, a dataset of 31850 images from 52 healthy and 46 keratoconus eyes, during sclera lens wear, was obtained and labeled with our previously developed algorithm of semi-automatic segmentation. A custom-improved U-shape network architecture with a full-range multi-scale feature-enhanced module (FMFE-Unet) was designed and trained. A hybrid loss function was designed to focus training on the TFR, to tackle the class imbalance problem. The experiments on our database showed an IoU, precision, specificity, and recall of 0.9426, 0.9678, 0.9965, and 0.9731, respectively. Furthermore, FMFE-Unet was found to outperform the other two state-of-the-art methods and ablation models, suggesting its strength in segmenting the TFR under the sclera lens depicted on OCT images. The application of deep learning for TFR segmentation in OCT images provides a powerful tool to assess changes in the dynamic tear film under the sclera lens, improving the efficiency and accuracy of lens fitting, and thus supporting the promotion of sclera lenses in clinical practice.
