Methods: Thirteen eyes of 13 consecutive patients who underwent NPFS with intraoperative 5-FU under the conjunctiva and the scleral flap and no implant were evaluated in an observational nonrandomized, consecutive case series study conducted 2 years postoperatively. Patients were assessed for the presence of a subconjunctival filtering bleb, the volume of an intrascleral cavity, and a suprachoroidal hypoechoic area.
Objectives: To establish the prevalence and severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a sample of patients from "Health Area 3" in the Community of Madrid using non-mydriatic retinography and telemedicine.
Methods: All patients who had their ocular fundus examined due to one of the following conditions were included in the sample: type 1 diabetes (DM1), type 2 non- insulin-dependent diabetes (DM2NID), and type 2 insulin-dependent diabetes (DM2ID). In all cases, 3-field retinographies were taken of both eyes to be evaluated for the presence of DR, and its severity, by an ophthalmologist at the hospital.
