Observing retinal fundus images by an ophthalmologist is a major diagnosis approach for glaucoma. However, it is still difficult to distinguish the features of the lesion solely through manual observations, especially, in glaucoma early phase. In this paper, we present two deep learning-based automated algorithms for glaucoma detection and optic disc and cup segmentation. We utilize the attention mechanism to learn pixel-wise features for accurate prediction. In particular, we present two convolutional neural networks that can focus on learning various pixel-wise level features. In addition, we develop several attention strategies to guide the networks to learn the important features that have a major impact on prediction accuracy. We evaluate our methods on the validation dataset and The proposed both tasks solutions can achieve impressive results and outperform current state-of-the-art methods. textit{The code is available at url{https://github.com/cswin/RLPA}}.
