A deep learning system (DLS) is a machine learning technology with potential for screening diabetic retinopathy and related eye diseases. ⋯ In this evaluation of retinal images from multiethnic cohorts of patients with diabetes, the DLS had high sensitivity and specificity for identifying diabetic retinopathy and related eye diseases. Further research is necessary to evaluate the applicability of the DLS in health care settings and the utility of the DLS to improve vision outcomes.
