Abstract: In this research paper, an attempt has been made to mathematically model the choroidal neo vascularization and to classify them as normal, occult or classic. The choroidal neo vascularization is disease which is the advanced stage for age related macular degradation. Images diseased eyes are captured by Fluorescein Angiography (FA). Dye is injected and images of the eyes are captured in intervals for a period of ten to fifteen minutes. Mean of intensity of the images at different stages are obtained. Mathematical model is obtained by fitting a sixth order polynomial curve fitting from the mean intensity data. The co-efficients of the polynomial expression is used for the classification of the choroidal neovascularization. The results show the authenticity of this technique for the categorization of the abnormality
