Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy and Dilated Fundus Examinations by Metropolitan Status from 2017–2021: An Assessment of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Although populations outside of an MSA experienced an increase in dilated fundus examinations, the national prevalence of DR continues to rise. Further research into sociodemographic and cultural factors influencing diabetic eye disease and access to ophthalmic care will be crucial for the prevention of DR and improving vision outcomes.
