Introduction
Diabetes is a disease that has a major prevalence in our population. One of
the complications resulting from the disease is diabetic retinopathy (DR).

A commonly used method of diagnosing DR is by analyzing fundus

images of the eye and classifying the condition, if present, into one of the
following categories: Mild, Moderate or severe non-proliferative diabetic
retinopathy and proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

The aim of this study is to use this technology along with a library of
classified DR images to first, train a CNN to recognize diabetic and non-
diabetic images and secondly, visualize the trained CNN, to search for any
new indicators of DR that may not have been used by physicians before to
diagnose the disease. These factors may help in increasing the accuracy of
diagnose and allowing detection at an earlier stage.

 Problem Statement

 The problem statement revolves around the need to improve screening and diagnostic methods, increase
access to eye care services, and raise awareness and education regarding regular eye exams for individuals
with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes, affecting the eyes and
potentially leading to blindness if not managed effectively. Many individuals with diabetes, particularly
in undeserved populations, lack access to timely and effective screening, diagnosis, and treatment for
diabetic retinopathy.

1. Data Collection:
Retinal images, typically obtained through fundus
photography, are collected. These images serve as
the dataset for training and testing the deep
learning model.
