Funded Activity Summary

Most vision loss from diabetic retinopathy, a severe complication of diabetes, can be prevented by early detection. However, with no recognized eye screening procedure, up to half of Australians with diabetes do not have a regular eye check. We have successfully piloted a new eye screening model using pathology centres as an opportunistic catchment point. In this project, we will demonstrate the overall effectiveness and economic benefits of this novel eye screening model in urban and rural Victoria for people with diabtetes.
