Should We Add Screening of Age-Related Macular Degeneration to Current Screening Programs for Diabetic Retinopathy?
The report by Chan et al1 in the current issue (p. 2278) details how screening for both diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can be conducted using fundus photographs obtained with nonmydriatic cameras. Exactly how cost-effective is such a screening? Could this be a recommendation for the future? Herein, we explore the potential for such a model for the management of 2 of the leading causes of blindness worldwide.
