Detailed Description
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness among working-age patients with type 2 diabetes. According to previous studies, early screening and timely treatment can reduce the risk of worsening DR and blindness. International guidelines recommend that screening for DR be performed at least once every year for patients with type 2 diabetes. The investigators will implement a validated deep learning-based software, VeriSee®, in clinics, and evaluate the benefits on diagnostic accuracy and the clinical referral rate for diabetic retinopathy after implementation of this software.
