Non-Invasive Imaging for Diabetic Retinopathy: Diabetes is a prototypical chronic disease that imposes a large public health burden. One of its many complications is diabetic retinopathy (DR). Early detection of DR is an important problem because many Americans with diabetes do not get regular eye exams due mainly to distance, geography, and economic status. Studies conducted in the 1980s and 1990s demonstrated that vision loss from DR could be prevented if treatment with laser photocoagulation therapy was initiated based upon regular screening and subsequent diagnosis of retinal disease. In this Request for Applications (RFA) the NEI seeks to develop, apply, and evaluate noninvasive technology that is practical, affordable, and accessible so that patients with diabetes can benefit from remote site disease screening.
