Resumen

COOK, S. Diabetic retinopathy - the Ophthalmology Society of Southern Africa screening programme. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2013, vol.103, n.7, pp.449-451. ISSN 2078-5135.

Screening for diabetic retinopathy (DR) not only allows for detection of microvascular complications, but for detection of other comorbidities. Recent advances in digital camera technology have improved screening for DR and many countries have established systems that screen all diabetics for DR annually. However, South Africa has lagged behind due to pressures at the primary care level, with the result that many diabetics are not screened. In response, the Ophthalmology Society of Southern Africa has developed a low-cost 'scorecard' system for a national DR screening programme.
