Synopsis of publication:

Diabetic retinopathy was chosen as a target disease for development of clinical practice guidelines because of its importance as a cause of blindness in our young and middle aged population. Data from randomised clinical trials indicate that visual loss and blindness from diabetic retinopathy is preventable with timely photocoagulation treatment. Yet many people with diabetes suffer preventable visual loss as they present too late in the course of the disease for effective treatment.

There is now a need to disseminate information about diabetic retinopathy to both health professionals and to consumers, those people with diabetes. This may assist both groups to comply with appropriate management, thereby reducing the toll of avoidable visual loss from diabetic retinopathy.

The series consists of:

CP53    Clinical practice guidelines: Management of diabetic retinopathy (112p)
CP54    Diabetes and your eyes: A consumer guide for the management of diabetic retinopathy (36p)
CP55    Preserving vision in diabetes: A quick reference guide for optometrists, nurses and other health practitioners (16p)
CP56    Management of diabetic retinopathy: A guide for general practitioners (28p)
