Introduction:One of most common diabetic complications is diabetic retinopathy (DR). Sight-threatening DR can be avoided when diagnosed early and treated in a timely fashion. The aim of this study is to review current worldwide DR screening programmes and studies.Methods:A PubMed platform search was performed to find clinical trials or studies of current DR screening methods.Results:Direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy is still used, but digital photography of the retina seems to be the most efficient, objective and cost-effective.Conclusions:DR screening programmes are developed all over the world. They help to detect early sight-threatening DR, treat it in a timely fashion and in this fashion help to avoid expensive, advanced treatment or even prevent to develop blindness among working age people.

“…Thirdly, we could not evaluate the persistence of the patients over the long term. Indeed, we have already shown that some diabetics who had correctly undergone their recommended visit then interrupted their ophthalmic follow-up [36]. It could be useful to develop tools which would help to evaluate the persistence of the patients in continuing the recommended annual visit after several years.…”

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening campaign with a non-mydriatic camera to encourage diabetics to undergo a subsequent ophthalmic follow-up. Methods: Diabetic patients who underwent free DR screening with a non-mydriatic fundus camera were given the recommendation to have an ophthalmic visit, in a time frame suited to the DR stage or in case abnormalities in the macula, the optic nerve or intra-ocular pressure were detected. The photographs were performed by a trained orthoptist. The date of the visit to their ophthalmologist and the report of this consultation were recorded. Results: During 5 annual campaigns, 4,699 diabetics were screened. Of the 1,573 ophthalmic examinations recommended at the screening, 1,241 (79%) were actually conducted. A total of 623 new cases of DR were found in the course of this screening campaign, with a fair concordance between the diagnosis suggested at screening and the examination by the ophthalmologist (κ = 0.48). Conclusion: Information and recommendations given during DR screening helped to reintroduce patients to a regular ophthalmic follow-up, at least in the short term.
