We test our model on internal validation data set, the micro Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUROC) of which reached 0.995. Then, we fine-tuned the diagnosis model to classify each of the four disease into early and late stage, respectively, which achieved AUROCs of 0.597 (GL), 0.877 (AMD), 0.972 (RVO), and 0.961 (DR) respectively.
