dc.description.abstract | Twelve retinopathy screening clinics serving 489 diabetic patients were conducted in three Michigan communities as part of the outreach effort of the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center. Screening activities were initiated by local diabetes educators who conducted a program designed to promote detection of diabetic eye disease and increase patient and health care provider awareness of accepted ophthalmic evaluation guidelines. This experience suggests that retinopathy screening clinics can be successfully conducted if health care professionals in the community consider diabetic retinopathy to be a serious problem, one individual is willing to oversee the organizational aspects of the clinic, and an ophthalmologist with laser treatment capability is present or nearby. These clinics are effective in detecting diabetic eye disease and facilitating subsequent patient visits to an ophthalmologist for evaluation in accordance with national recommendations. | en_US |
