2022, Canadian Journal of DiabetesCitation Excerpt :Because providers largely identified teleophthalmology as a means to address geographic and temporal access specifically, they did not see the need for it in urban centres, where these issues were not considered a significant challenge. However, previous research has demonstrated that geographic and timely access to DR screening is an issue in urban settings due to limitations in health system capacity, patient knowledge and language and financial barriers, particularly in places where patients are uninsured/underinsured (16,31,32). Providers' contrasting perceptions highlight the need to deepen their knowledge of patient barriers to DR screening access.
Diabetic Retinopathy Screening: A Systematic Review of Qualitative Literature
2021, Canadian Journal of DiabetesCitation Excerpt :For example, 40% of patients with diabetes mellitus in the United States are not annually screened for diabetic retinopathy (13). A study involving a cohort of patients with diabetes mellitus from 5 Canadian provinces showed that 38% of the patients never had diabetic retinopathy screening (14). Conversely, in the United Kingdom, where a national screening program was implemented in 2008, uptake is >80% (15).

2020, Canadian Journal of OphthalmologyThe role of tele-ophthalmology in diabetic retinopathy screening
2020, Journal of OptometryCitation Excerpt :A wide spectrum of psychological, social, medical and financial parameters (need for pupil dilation, patient’s age, educational status, health insurance coverage, transportation costs, poor patient awareness, and limited access to eye care services) can affect the effective implementation of recommended screening guidelines.7–12 Interestingly, even in urban areas with easier access to specialized eye care, the annual DR screening appointments can be missed due to the lack of awareness, the struggle in booking appointments and the long waiting times.10,13,14 The difficulty of adherence to the recommended annual retinal assessment of diabetics has been recorded in all socio-economic levels.9
