Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy | Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy

• Dilated Retinal examination : dilating the pupil and looking inside the eye with an ophthalmoscope. If an ophthalmologist discovers diabetic retinopathy, he or she may wish to order color photographs of the retina through a test called fluorescein angiography.


• FUNDUS FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY : During this test, a dye is injected into the arm and quickly travels throughout the blood system. Once the dye reaches the blood vessels of the retina, a photograph is taken of the eye. The dye allows the ophthalmologist to detect damaged blood vessels that are leaking dye.


• Retinal photography


• Optical coherence tomography
