Diabetic Retinal Screening
Regular eye screening is one of the best ways to
detect diabetic retinopathy before you notice any
changes in your sight. Specialised digital
photography is primarily used to look for changes
that could affect your sight.
When the condition is caught at the early stage,
treatment is performed to reduce or prevent
damage to your sight.
Diabetic patients are typically recommended to
undergo an eye examination annually. Diabetes is
a problem that can affect the eyesight and
diabetic changes may first become apparent in the
eye.
Patients with diabetes today have a lot of
advantages thanks to the many modern medicines
which help them to minimize their condition and
live their life in a healthy and happy manner. At
the same time, they have to remain vigilant about
health risks such as retinopathy that are the
direct result of the diabetes.

Diabetic Retinopathy
This procedure is not really a treatment as the
name suggests, it is a way to view and analyze
the existing condition of the eye and determine
if the affliction in question is developing or
not.
It is extremely important that people with
diabetes get this test done as it will give their
doctors a vital heads up about the inner workings
of their eyes.

RETScreen
RETScreen is a proven enabler of clean energy
projects worldwide.
RETScreen significantly reduces the costs (both
financial and time) associated with identifying
and assessing potential energy projects.
These costs, which arise at the pre-feasibility,
feasibility, development, and engineering stages,
can be substantial barriers to the deployment of
Renewable-energy and Energy-efficient
Technologies (RETs).

Stages Of Diabetic Retinopathy
Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy is
manifested in the retina as red dots and blots of
hemorrhages and/or as yellow dots which are
actually lipid (fatty) leakages.
Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Proliferative
diabetic retinopathy is the more advanced stage
where abnormal new blood vessels begin to grow on
the surface of the retina as a compensatory
mechanism for the decreasing blood flow brought
about by the capillary abnormalities.
