Handbook of Retinal Screening in Diabetes

This book, a successor to the highly popular Practical Guide to Polaroid Retinal Photography, describes the essential components of a retinopathy screening programme, including the criteria for referral to an ophthalmologist, drawing upon the experience of the Newcastle system over the last two decades and the National Screening Committee Report upon Eye screening. It is fully illustrated, featuring a new set of 50 digital photographs, showing the normal retina and problems associated with diabetes, with explanatory text.

This conveniently sized handbook will be essential reading for all those involved in retinal screening, including optometrists, ophthalmologists, diabetologists and also medical students.

Professor Taylor started the first mobile retinal camera service in 1986 and upgraded this to a digital screening system using high resolution equipment in 2000. He coordinates the data collection and analysis for 11 centres throughout the UK and is acclaimed as a leading expert on screening for sight–threatening diabetic retinopathy.
