Diabetic retinopathy update

Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy screening has proved over the years to be effective in reducing the morbidity from DR in countries that adopted this strategy.[3,4] There are different methods of screening ranging from fundus examination by ophthalmologists to fundus photography and images grading by nonmedical screeners. The article by Professor Scanlon et al., a world renowned UK expert in this field, and his colleagues from Australia, on diabetic screening is a welcome addition to the existing literature on this subject.[5]
