Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A study will be conducted to demonstrate that DRISTi will correctly diagnose Diabetic Retinopathy (e.g., mtmDR, PDR, DME) in eyes of patients with diabetes. Participants who have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and meet the other inclusion/exclusion criteria will be invited to participate and will consent to have ophthalmic images taken. These images will be analyzed by DRISTi AI software and evaluated by an ophthalmic reading center. The results will be compared, and a statistical analysis will be completed to ensure statistical significance in the outcomes thus proving DRISTi is an effective DR diagnosis tool.
