Use of retinal camera by primary clinicians can help: Study
A study conducted by Salud Family Health Centers recommends the use of a retinopathy camera for screening diabetic retinopathy patients effectively. Earlier identification of diabetes can help to control glucose in a better way, thereby halting the progression of blindness. This can prove to be a valuable tool in primary care setup, where clinicians and nurses can be trained to be able to read images of the retina. If implemented, this can emerge as a cost-effective method to get treatment for vision loss in diabetics without hiring the service of ophthalmologists.
