Screening for Diabetic RETINopathy Using a Non-mydriatic Retinograph Funduscope in Occupational MEDicine

Resumen breve

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that can affect vision. Early detection and appropriate management can help prevent or delay vision loss. However, some people with diabetes do not receive the recommended regular eye examinations. The RETINOMED study is a pilot study designed to evaluate the feasibility of offering diabetic retinopathy screening to workers with diabetes through an Occupational Health service. Participants will attend a single study visit at the Occupational Health Department of Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital. During this visit, retinal photographs will be taken using a non-mydriatic retinal camera, which does not require pupil dilation. Participants will also complete a questionnaire about their sociodemographic and occupational characteristics, lifestyle, and diabetes. The study will assess the acceptability of this screening program among eligible workers. It will also estimate the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy among screened workers and explore participant characteristics that may be associated with diabetic retinopathy.
