PMID: 40388448

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Delayed diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains a significant challenge, often leading to preventable blindness and visual impairment. Given that physicians are frequently the first point of contact for people with diabetes, there is a critical need for integrated screening programs within diabetes clinics to enhance DR management and reduce the risk of severe vision loss.
