India has an estimated 77 million people with diabetes, which makes it second most affected in the world, after China. The number is projected to grow by 2045 to become 134 million by the International Diabetes Federation. Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the many side effects of Diabetes. Up to 21% patients with the type 2 Diabetes have retinopathy at the time of first diagnosis of Diabetes, and most develop some degree of retinopathy over time. Diabetic Retinopathy is a complication of Diabetes that affects the eyes. It is caused by the damage of the blood vessels in the tissue at the back of the eye(retina).

At this stage, it becomes difficult to treat the patient after the retina has fully damages. This paper will provide all the guidelines for detecting DR of any fundus image.
