<p>Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a related malady with diabetes and primary driver of sightlessness in diabetic patients. Epidemiological overview categorizes DR among four significant reasons for sight impedance. DR is a microvascular entanglement in which meager retinal veins may blast, bringing about vision misfortune. In this condition veins in retina swells and may blast in severe extreme condition. Operative medication is timely discovery by steady screenings that is by emphasizing the determination of retinal images using appropriate image processing techniques such as, Preprocessing of retinal image, image segmentation using sobel edge detector, local features extraction like mean, standard deviation, variance, Entropy, histogram values and so on. For classification of retina, system uses K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier. By adopting this approach, The classification of normal and abnormal images of retina is easy and will reduce the number of reviews for the ophthalmologists. Developing a method to automate functionality of retinal examination helps doctor to identify patient’s condition on disease. So that they can medicate the disease accordingly.</p>
