As the world is changing in a rapid way, the
technology has taken places in human’s day to
day life. Humans are also willing to include
artificial machines (technology) which can work
efficiently with less failure. But it is a challenge
for human to build an artificial humanoid as
same as human. Identification and classification
are the basic steps by which machine can work
same as human works. The identification and
classification of input images propose a big
challenge to make machine more accurate. To
classify the input with higher rate of an
accuracy is the challenge for the researchers,
scientists. To overcome this issue, we have
proposed a modified Convolutional Neural
Network (CNN) method to recognize images
correctly to reduce failure.
DR) and specificity (patients correctly identified as
not having DR). This is a five-class problem in to
normal, mild DR, moderate DR, severe DR, and
proliferative DR classes. Moreover, overfitting is a
major issue in neural networks.
In this paper, we introduce a deep
learning-based CNN method for the matter of
classifying DR. The detection of DR is extremely
resource intensive and requires very specialized
clinician knowledge. We have tried to implement a
Computer Vision model for this problem and
reduce the quantity of human resources required to
spot the disease. DR prediction method used to
determine whether or not the patient is full of DR,
given the set of the patient’s input fundus used to.
DR grading process used to identify the stage of

INTRODUCTION
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) may be a
serious eye disease associated with long-standing
diabetes that leads to progressive damage to the
retina, eventually resulting in blindness [1–3].
Regular screening of diabetic patients for DR has
been shown to be an economical and important
aspect of their care [4]. The accuracy and timing of
this care is of serious importance to both the value
and effectiveness of treatment. If detected early
enough, effective treatment of DR is out there,
making this an important process [5].
The efficacy of automated grading for DR
has been a lively area of research in computer
imaging with encouraging conclusions [6, 7].
Significant work has been done on detecting the
features of DR using automated methods like
support vector machines and k-NN classifiers [8].
the bulk of those classification techniques are on
two class classification for DR or no DR. There are
two main issues with existing system. One is
1. No DR: In this stage eye is healthy.
2. Mild DR: In the first stage, there will be
balloon-like swelling in small areas of the
blood vessels in the retina.
3. Moderate DR: In the second stage, some of
the blood vessels in the retina will become
blocked.
4. Severe DR: The third stage, brings with it
more blocked blood vessels, which leads to
areas of the retina no longer receiving
sufficient blood flow. Without proper blood
flow, the tissue layer cannot grow new blood
vessels to exchange the proper ones.
5. Proliferative DR: This is the fourth and final
stage of the disease. Additional new blood
vessels will begin to grow in the retina, but
they will be delicate and abnormal. These
abnormal blood vessels can leak blood which
will lead to vision loss and possibly blindness.
