accurate segmentation of the retina, optic discs, and other anatomical structures of the eye from eye images is crucial for ophthalmic diagnosis and the evaluation of eye diseases. In previous studies, the DeepLabv3 model was used for segmenting eye regions, achieving an average Dice score of 81%. In this study, the latest YOLO models, YOLOv9 and YOLOv11, were utilized due to their potential to achieve an optimal balance between accuracy and efficiency in medical image analysis.Experimental results demonstrate that YOLOv11n outperforms other models. YOLOv11n achieved MAP50, MAP50-95, and Dice scores of 90.6%, 49.3%, and 90%, respectively. In contrast, YOLOv9-C obtained MAP50, MAP50-95, and Dice scores of 89%, 47.6%, and 88.9%, respectively.These findings indicate that the YOLOv11n model improves segmentation accuracy for eye images, demonstrating its effectiveness compared to previous models.
