Family physicians can learn to identify patients with obvious retinopathy with the right equipment, but they still need to refer patients with diabetes to eye care specialists, according to findings presented here last week at the annual meeting of the American Association of Family Physicians (AAFP).
James M. Gill, MD, MPH, from Christiana Care Health Services, in Wilmington, Delaware, United States, and colleagues selected 11 family physicians from the Delaware Academy of Family Physicians (AFP) to participate in a 4-hour training workshop. The workshop was given by an education specialist and ophthalmologist and designed to help the physicians screen for diabetic retinopathy by using a new non-mydriatic ophthalmoscope that allows a view of the retina that is three to five times wider than that of a standard direct ophthalmoscope.
