#### 3.2.2 The Model
Alongside the actual image sampled from the test set, Figure 8 visually presents the Grad-CAM outputs for each model across different configurations. The Grad-CAM images give a clear view of the contribution of each component toward the performance of the model as a whole. In the complete model, well-defined, focused regions of interest point to the importance of each component. Degradation reinforced by ablation settings shows their importance. These further illustrate how visualizations are used in providing insight into how the model processes data in order to understand and validate its design. #### 4.2.2 Analysis of Grad-CAM Outputs Using KL Divergence for Model Comparison

This section analyzed the Grad-CAM outputs generated from different model configurations, as shown in Table 2, by employing Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence as a quantitative measure of the similarity between the generated heatmaps. Specifically, Heatmap1 represents the Grad-CAM output from VGG16 combined with a learning rate scheduler, Heatmap2 represents the Grad-CAM output from VGG16 combined with a Siamese architecture, and Heatmap3 represents the Grad-CAM output from VGG16 combined with both Siamese architecture and the learning rate scheduler. \begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{l l l} \hline \hline
**Comparison** & **KL Divergence** & **Interpretation** \\ \hline Heatmap1 (VGG16 + LRS) vs. & Moderate similarity in focus, indicating \\ Heatmap2 (VGG16 + Siamese) & overlapping but distinct features \\ Heatmap1 (VGG16 + LRS) vs. & emphasized by the two configurations. \\ Heatmap3 (VGG16 + Siamese + LRS) & Strong similarity, suggesting both \\ Heatmap2 (VGG16 + Siamese) & 0.0999 & configurations focused on similar \\ + LRS) & & features within the images. \\ Heatmap2 (VGG16 + Siamese) & & Indicates a somewhat different focus in \\ vs. Heatmap1 (VGG16 + LRS) & 0.1483 & the features emphasized by Heatmap2 \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}

Table 2: Analysis of the Grad-CAM outputs using KL divergence. Figure 8: Grad-CAM visualization across the ablation experiment. Overall, the KL divergence analysis revealed that while similarities existed in the focus of the Grad-CAM outputs among the different model configurations, distinct variations reflected the unique characteristics learned by each model. The closeness of the KL divergence values between Heatmap2 and Heatmap3 suggests that these configurations might benefit from further investigation to understand their respective impacts on model interpretability and performance. Future analysis could explore how these differences in focus correlate with the models' predictive accuracies on the test set. #### 4.2.3 Proposed Analysis with Other Schemes

This section will provide a comparative review of the various models and methodologies applied to the detection of diseases of the eye, focusing on the effectiveness of all methodologies in the field as depicted in Table 3. The comparison of each will be performed with others in view of the ability to diagnose conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and other ocular diseases, complemented by explainability tools. This comparison also puts in perspective the strengths and limitations of the existing models against the proposed hybrid deep learning model as shown in Figure 9, which integrates VGG16 with a Siamese network and learning rate scheduler. Research should focus on performance metrics related to accuracy while embedding explainability methods such as Grad-CAM and explainable AI in order to show steps toward both high precision and interpretive transparency in medical diagnosis.
