Many people with type 2 diabetes could go longer between screens for retinopathy, according to a report published in the January 18th issue of The Lancet.
Results from the study, which involved more than 7500 patients with type 2 diabetes, suggest that many type 2 diabetics with no signs of retinopathy on one exam could go up to 3 years before needing another exam. “I think that our evidence is sufficiently strong to allow screening intervals to be lengthened to 2 or 3 years in the 70% of diabetic people with no retinopathy,” study author Dr. Simon P. Harding, of Royal Liverpool University Hospital, told Reuters Health.
