Assessing the unmet need for diabetic eye screening in regional Queensland
Patients continue to self-present to ophthalmology with advanced diabetic retinopathy. An audit of people living with diabetes attending our regional diabetes clinic revealed a significant number had undetected vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy despite regular community optometry review. Further work is required to determine why and whether this is a more widespread issue.
