Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an eye disorder triggered by diabetes that might result in loss of sight. Earlier diagnosis of DR is critical since it might cause loss of sight. Manual diagnoses of DR severity by ophthalmologists are time-consuming and challenging. As a result, there has been considerable attention on designing an automatic technique for DR detection using fundus photographs. In medical science, prognosis and diagnosis are the most challenging tasks due to the presence of fuzziness in medical images and the restricted subjectivity of the experts. Neutrosophic Set (NS) in medical image analysis provides an understanding of the NS concepts, together with knowledge of how to collect, handle, interpret, and analyze clinical images using NS techniques. The neutrosophic set (NS), which is a generality of fuzzy set, provides the overcoming prospect of the restriction of fuzzy-based models for the analysis of medical images. This manuscript develops a Robust Diabetic Retinopathy Detection and Grading using Neutrosophic Topological Vector Space (DRDG-NSTVS) technique on fundus images. The DRDG-NSTVS technique begins with Median Filter (MF) noise removal to optimize the clarity of fundus photographs by successfully eliminating noises. Later, the InceptionV3 is used to perform feature extraction for identifying complicated features and patterns related to DR. The parameter tuning is performed by the moth flame optimization (MFO) technique to ensure superior performance of the model. The final diagnoses and classification of DR are accomplished utilizing the NSTVS classifiers that easily perform the uncertainties inherent in medicinal statistics. The simulation was conducted on a benchmark dataset to examine the proposed model performance. This combined method gives a greatly reliable and accurate solution for the earlier diagnosis and detection of DR
