TIMELY SCREENING AND FOLLOW FOR DIABETIC RETINOPATHY WITH FUNDUS PHOTOGRAPHY
Abstract
Background. Punctual screening and follow-up of diabetic retinopathy is very important for successful treatment. The result is about 56% less patients with impaired vision or blindness.
Patients and methods. With computerised fundus video camera are examined all newly registered diabetics and diabetics without diabetic retinopathy, who are registered at Outpatients Diabetic Clinic Ljubljana.
Conclusions. For successful ophthalmologic screening we would need approximately 5.000 examinations with computerised fundus video camera for patients of Outpatients Diabetic Clinic Ljubljana.
