Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of basic eye exams for diabetic patients in primary healthcare settings.
- A sample of 712 type 2 diabetics underwent visual acuity tests, intraocular pressure checks, and non-mydriatic fundus photography, with referrals made to ophthalmologists based on findings.
- Results show a notable agreement between general practitioners and ophthalmologists in diagnosing eye conditions, although there was some over-diagnosis and unnecessary referrals by GPs, ultimately reducing the number of patients needing specialist referrals.
