If you have 4 stages (why 4?), they have to have exact description. something like -  for stage two - swollen blood vessels, then, how they name them \"wool cotton spots\", with area, let say 5% of retina, etc. Something, that we can count and know that we are at the same page with all doctor in the world. And by the way in this case they would not need fancy algorithm, trying to guess doctor preferences, but vision program, which  would look for defects, count them, area affected (and something else?) and we will get exact result, without any guessing.\nWhat do you think, guys?</p>",
