Diabetes, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and the leading cause of new cases of blindness in adults, affects more than 25 million people, or 8.3% of the population.1 Currently, only 60% of persons with diabetes receive standard-of-care screening examinations for retinopathy, and the number is even lower in the safety net.2- 3 Given that the projected increase in the prevalence of diabetes will increase the demand for screening examinations, we must identify alternative ways to screen for diabetic retinopathy (DR).
