How can retina specialists collaborate with referring providers to enhance early detection and management of diabetic eye disease? David Chin Yee, MD, FASRS, and Ollya Fromal, MD, discuss the challenges of identifying diabetic eye disease in its early stages and discuss strategies to bridge gaps in care. Using real-world cases, they’ll explore issues like inconsistent referral thresholds, the role of patient education, and the importance of regular eye exams, particularly for patients with comorbidities that may increase the risk of developing diabetic macular edema.
