What this trial studies

This study evaluates a new approach to monitor diabetic maculopathy and pre-proliferative diabetic retinopathy using community-based optometrists and virtual consultations with hospital ophthalmologists. The aim is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of this method for patients with diabetes, as well as its potential impact on healthcare resources and costs. By utilizing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in community settings, the study seeks to improve early detection and management of these eye conditions, which are significant complications of diabetes.
