Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
About the procedure
Diabetic retinopathy screening is a preventive eye examination for people with diabetes, aiming to detect early retinal changes before vision loss occurs. The procedure typically involves a dilated fundus examination or retinal photography using a non-mydriatic camera. Images are analysed for signs of microaneurysms, haemorrhages, or macular oedema. Advanced imaging, like OCT or fluorescein angiography, may be used if needed. Early detection allows timely interventions, such as laser therapy, anti-VEGF injections, or surgery, to prevent progression of diabetic eye disease and preserve vision.
