I would have to agree with Queryman… Ophthalmoscopic eye examinations should be done at least once a year to check for retinopathy. Indirect ophthalmoscope have been a favorite as they can see a little better even if the patient has cataract’s.
My next favorite would have to be the fluorescein angiography but it involves injections and what diabetic wants more injections. lol
All in all the ophthalmoscpic eye examination is simple and gives you good results. (if your ophthalmologist isn’t blind themselves lol)
