Abstract

Diabetes mellitus which is commonly known as diabetes, is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar in the body. Diabetic retinopathy which is also known as diabetic eye disease, is a medical condition in which damage occurs to the retina due to diabetes mellitus. It is a leading cause of blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is caused by prolonged high blood glucose level overtime, high sugar glucose levels might weaken and damage the small blood vessels within the retina. This may also cause haemorrhages, exudates and even swelling of the retina. At early stage there will no signs of diabetic retinopathy. In this paper, we have done a survey on detection and classification of different stages of diabetic retinopathy. Detection of diabetic retinopathy at early stage might prevent vision loss.
