[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2481781, member: 216415"] They examine the photos on a very large high resolution monitor. Tiny imperfections that might possibly be background retinopathy are visible, so some judgement by the operator is necessary. Bear in mind the statement in the letter that accompanies the result. "[I]You do not need treatment at this time and background retinopathy does not affect your sight. However, it is important you manage your diabetes as well as possible to reduce the risk of developing more serious damage."[/I] My experience, and that of many others, is that background retinopathy is no longer detected after HbA1c improves.
