In this respect, one can systematically assesses digital retinal photographs, to predict chronic diseases. This eliminates the need for manual assessment of ophthalmic images in diagnostic practices. It is also possible to detect certain type of cancers and cataract in their early stages in addition to diseases like hypertension, stroke and serious organ ma functioning in diabetic patients. 777e facility to maintain a database of the retinal photographs and associated data of any patient, taken on a regular basis, scrutinized for the prediction of the diseases may easily be incorporated.
