Abstract

 Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) poses a major hazard to global public health, causing considerable vision loss if left concealed. Deep learning algorithms have emerged as capable tools for recovering the accuracy of DR analysis and prediction. This chapter explores the potential of deep learning in enhancing predictive accuracy for DR, reviewing modern advancements and prominent key challenges, and future directions. Researchers inspect diverse deep learning architectures engaged for DR prediction, together with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and ensemble methods. The authors attribute the underperformance of deep learning in DR prediction to some collision aspects such as data quality, interpretability, and ethical issues. Finally, the authors suggest a host of elucidatory opportunities and support Investigative Restorative practices as well as Team-Based Care for improved DR management.
