Lo screening nella retinopatia diabetica

Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the main ocular complication of diabetes. Among all the causes of blindness, it is the only one whose global pre-valence has increased over the past 30 years. DR prevalence is expected to increase in the upcoming years. Therefore, it is essential to establish cost-effective screening programs for early diagnosis of DR, which using new imaging systems, telemedicine and artificial intelligence prevent its evolution to advanced sight-threatening stages.
