Early detection of glaucoma is important to reduce vision loss, and retinal fundus image examination is one of the most commonly used solutions for glaucoma diagnosis due to its low cost. Clinically, the cup-disc ratio of fundus images is an important indicator for glaucoma diagnosis. In recent years, there have been an increasing number of algorithms for segmentation and recognition of the optic disc (OD) and optic cup (OC), but these algorithms generally have poor universality, segmentation performance, and segmentation accuracy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>By improving the YOLOv8 algorithm for segmentation of OD and OC. Firstly, a set of algorithms was designed to adapt the REFUGE dataset\u2019s result images to the input format of the YOLOv8 algorithm. Secondly, in order to improve segmentation performance, the network structure of YOLOv8 was improved, including adding a ROI (Region of Interest) module, modifying the bounding box regression loss function from CIOU to Focal-EIoU. Finally, by training and testing the REFUGE dataset, the improved YOLOv8 algorithm was evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The experimental results show that the improved YOLOv8 algorithm achieves good segmentation performance on the REFUGE dataset. In the OD and OC segmentation tests, the F1 score is 0.999.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We improved the YOLOv8 algorithm and applied the improved model to the segmentation task of OD and OC in fundus images.
