In this Healthed lecture, Endocrinologist and Clinical Dean of Medicine, University of Melbourne, Austin Clinical School, Prof Richard O’Brien, explains that diabetic retinopathy is a common but often very manageable complication of diabetes, provided it is detected early.
More than 60% of people with type 2 diabetes will develop diabetic retinopathy, but up to half of these diabetic patients are not getting eye checks as frequently as the guidelines recommend. In this presentation, Professor O’Brien will highlight the key features of this condition and what can and should be done at the primary care level to prevent retinopathy complications including blindness.
