Teleretinal screening for diabetic retinopathy might save costs and help preserve vision at the same level as annual live exams at an ophthalmologist’s office, according to a study.
“DR is the leading cause of blindness in working-age Americans. Annual dilated eye exams are recommended, but adherence to screening is relatively poor, even though it has long been shown that early detection and treatment is effective,” Delaney Curran, medical student at the University of Vermont, said at the virtual Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting.
