Diabetes-related eye complications are a growing but preventable cause of vision loss worldwide. In this episode, host Phyllisa Deroze is joined by Dr Rebecca Thomas to explore the latest findings from the 11th edition of the IDF Diabetes Atlas, which indicate that nearly 1 in 3 people with diabetes have some form of retinopathy - 1 in 10 of whom develop sight-threatening conditions, such as proliferative retinopathy or macular oedema.
Diabetes-related eye complications can develop without noticeable symptoms, so regular eye checks are vital. The good news is that in regions such as South and Central America and the Western Pacific, improved screening and access to care have helped reduce rates. But disparities persist, especially in Europe and South-east Asia. Tune in as we unpack global trends, examine innovations like AI grading and telemedicine, and highlight how national screening programmes can influence policy for more equitable, life-saving care.
