Diabetic retinopathy is the most common sight-threatening complication of diabetes, necessitating regular monitoring of progression via diabetic eye screening (DES). The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends DES annually for diabetic patients aged 12 years and older. This retrospective clinical audit assessed the reasons behind non-attendance and evaluated the adherence to guidelines set by NICE in a general practice with approximately 9000 patients.
