This article presents a Multimodal database consisting of 222 images of 76 people wherein 111 are OCTA images and 111 are color fundus images taken at the Natasha Eye Care and Research Institute of Pune Maharashtra, India. Nonmydriatic fundus images were acquired using a confocal SLO widefield fundus imaging Eidon machine. Nonmydriatic OCTA images were acquired using the Optovue Avanti Edition machine Initially, the clinical approach described in this article was used to obtain the retinal images. Following that, the dataset was categorized by two experienced eye specialists. To identify instances of Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR) with their various stages, medical professionals and scholars can use this data.
