Telemedical direct ophthalmoscopic, real-time fundus imaging may provide a valuable means for providing ophthalmic consultation to the primary care physician in younger patients without lens or media opacity, but is inadequate for eyes with any degree of lens orMedia opacity.

51 Citations1993Andrew Schachat
Results suggest that in certain populations that include diabetics and nondiabetics, a clinical examination by an ophthalmologist will detect most cases of diabetic retinopathy identified by disc and macula photographs read by skilled graders, however, it will lead to an underestimate of prevalence.
