Despite its efficiency, it does not compromise on accuracy, achieving high levels of precision in categorizing a wide range of diabetic retinopathy images. This study represents a significant step forward in the field of diabetic retinopathy diagnosis. We aim to demonstrate that a lightweight and robust deep learning model can effectively serve the needs of healthcare practitioners by providing accurate and consistent assessments of diabetic retinopathy, thereby contributing to improved patient outcomes and vision preservation. In the subsequent sections, we will delve into the details of our model’s architecture, the dataset used for training and evaluation, experimental results, and the broader implications of our research in the context of diabetic retinopathy diagnosis.
