Abstract

A recent study conducted at Wenzhou Medical University in China compared the effectiveness of single-field versus multi-field fundus photography for screening and monitoring diabetic retinopathy in community settings. The research found that single-field fundus photography showed substantial agreement with multi-field grading in classifying diabetic retinopathy severity, with reduced sensitivity but reasonable effectiveness for detection. This study supports the use of single-field fundus photography to improve access to diabetic retinopathy detection in community care, although acknowledging its limitations compared to multi-field imaging.
