This book is intended for general practitioners, optometrists,
doctors in training and others who have responsibility for diabetes
care. It is not intended to make them self-sufficient in screening
and recognition of diabetic retinopathy, but rather to enhance
their role in diabetes care by increasing their understanding of
diabetic retinopathy and its implications for overall diabetes
care.
Diabetic Retinopathy is a well-illustrated, clearly structured and accessible reference guide. It includes a description of diabetic eye disease and its significance not only to management of the eye, but also generally to any person with diabetes. It includes referral guidelines and guidance on locality screening programmes and methods. The book illustrates the different types of diabetic retinopathy as well as other common retinal abnormalities that are likely to be seen. There is also a self-assessment section.
