Abstract: The proposed effort aims to develop a more predictive model for identifying diabetic retinopathy (DR) and Glaucoma, two major retinal illnesses that cause blindness in working-age individuals globally. Colour retinal photographs are challenging and time-consuming to diagnose DR and Glaucoma. A multilayer CNN model detects DR and Glaucoma. CNN's enhancements improve diagnosis accuracy. The model can better capture retinal picture subtleties by adding data, improving diagnostic performance. 3658 retinal pictures in five categories are used for the DR problem from the Kaggle dataset. With 1103 retinal pictures and two class labels, RIGA is used for Glaucoma. Using these datasets, the proposed technique easily identifies healthy and diseased retinal pictures, reducing physician evaluations. Using two publicly available datasets, the suggested model had a prediction accuracy of 98%. These results show the model can identify retinal images and detect DR and Glaucoma. Finally, data-augmented multilayer CNN models improve DR and glaucoma diagnosis. Accuracy comes from detail and large datasets. Data augmentation and multilayer CNN models improved it. The model may detect and treat severe retinal problems earlier.
