【Paper】A new paper on recognition of eye check recommendation and diabetic retinopathy screening has been published.

The present study aimed to assess the relationship between individuals' recognition of ophthalmology consultation recommendations, their knowledge of the recommended frequency of diabetic retinopathy screening, and the likelihood of undergoing fundus examinations. Among 290 participants, those who recognized these recommendations were more likely to undergo fundus examinations (72.9% vs. 30.1%) and had better knowledge of the screening frequency. Increasing awareness through healthcare provider recommendations may improve diabetic retinopathy screening rates, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to promote eye care among individuals with diabetes.
