Certain aspects presented herein provide systems and methods utilizing one or more machine learning models in determining a severity of vitreous disease, and in particular, vitreous opacities. Such machine learning models are trained based on historical patient data to determine the severity of vitreous opacities afflicting a current patient. The severity determination may thereafter be utilized to inform treatment decisions for the current patient, including patient suitability for certain types of treatment.
