Investigating Determinants and Evaluating Deep Learning Training Approaches for Visual Acuity in Foveal Hypoplasia.

Purpose: To describe the relationships between foveal structure and visual function in a cohort of individuals with foveal hypoplasia (FH) and to estimate FH grade and visual acuity using a deep learning classifier.

Design: Retrospective cohort study and experimental study.

Participants: A total of 201 patients with FH were evaluated at the National Eye Institute from 2004 to 2018.
