Summary

The development of technology brings new possibilities for diagnosis and screening of diabetic complications. One of them is the possibility of using a non-mydriatic fundus camera, where the acquired scans of the ocular background are evaluated using artefactual intelligence to assess the presence and degree of diabetic retinopathy. The Slovak Diabetes Society conducted a pilot project in diabetic outpatient clinics and mapped the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy across Slovakia. The project involved 32 diabetes clinics. The overall DR prevalence was 31% in central and eastern Slovakia and 22.5% in western Slovakia.
