The diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) demands a paradigm shift towards more accurate and efficient solutions to overcome vision impairment. Therefore, the current study introduces a new Modified Regularisation Long Short-term Memory (MR-LSTM) framework approach for DR diagnosis. The proposed framework leverages the power of deep learning and provides a dynamic and robust solution for the early detection of DR, which in turn preserves a patient’s vision. The proposed framework uses a DR Debrecen Dataset from the UCI database with 21 distinct features relevant to retinal health, and employs a series of data preprocessing steps, including data cleaning, normalisation, and transformation, to ensure data quality and compatibility. The MR-LSTM framework excels at capturing temporal dependencies in sequential retinal images, offering a unique advantage in understanding the progression of DR. The MR-LSTM framework is implemented using Python libraries, and the results are compared with those of other popular models. It is observed that the MR-LSTM framework outperforms other models and achieves an accuracy of 97.12 percent and an F1 Score of 98.49. Furthermore, the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve reveals an area under the curve of 0.97, highlighting the exceptional ability to discriminate between positive and negative cases of the proposed framework. By revolutionising DR diagnosis with the proposed MR-LSTM framework, it can achieve accurate, timely, and accessible solutions in the fight against vision-threatening conditions.
