Retinal Digital Imaging

"Screening examinations for diabetic retinopathy and other retinal diseases require regular visits to the eye specialist. Many individuals in the United States do not have easy access to an ophthalmologist. In other parts of the world, the relative scarcity of ophthalmologists greatly hinders eye care, which is sought only when a dramatic loss of vision occurs. If patients are able to have a fundus exam through their primary care physician’s office, then diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and even retinal tears could be diagnosed and treated in a timely manner."
