What you'll learn in this expert session
Diabetic retinopathy is a common but often very manageable complication of diabetes, provided it is detected early.
More than 60% of people with Type 2 Diabetes will develop diabetic retinopathy, says endocrinologist A/Prof Richard O'Brien, and yet up to half of these diabetic patients are not getting eye checks as frequently as the guidelines recommend. In this presentation, Prof O'Brien will highlight the key features of this condition and what can and should be done at the primary care level to prevent retinopathy complications including blindness.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognise the risk factors for diabetic retinopathy (DR)
- Discuss the stages in the progression of diabetic retinopathy
- Plan for routine DR eye screening tests for all patients with diabetes
- Outline the preventative measures and pharmacotherapy for diabetic retinopathy
