In ophthalmology, Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) is a serious medical disease that, if left untreated, frequently results in significant vision loss. In this investigation, we investigate the evaluation and working of deep learning models, notably basic Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), ResNet18, ResNet50, VGG16, VGG19, Vision Transformers, EfficientNetV2L, MobileNetV2 and InceptionV3 for identification and classification of CNV in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images. The Kermany dataset, which includes OCT images of both CNV-patients and non-CNV patients (Normal OCT images) are utilized for this paper. The dataset was further used in three different versions based on validation and training split. The images from the dataset are already pre-processed and labelled so no pre-processing operations were performed, how- ever resizing of images have been performed according to the models. The deep learning models are trained and evaluated on standard performance metrics such as precision, recall, accuracy, F1-score, etc. All things considered, our work shows the evaluation of deep learning models to classify OCT images that show the presence of CNV. Based on all three dataset versions, the findings of our study confirm that ResNet18, VGGNet19, and MobileNetV2 beat all other approaches and achieved an average accuracy of 1. Additionally, Vision Transformer and Effi- cientNetV2L demonstrated strong performance, averaging 0.99 and 0.96 accuracy on each of the three dataset versions, respectively. These models have the potential to help ophthalmologists detect CNV early and monitor it, which may lead to prompt treatment and better vision preservation for patients.
