This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in your eyes, sometimes threatening your sight. This trial is testing whether trained eye care professionals in your local community can safely monitor this eye damage using special 3D imaging cameras (OCT technology), with a hospital specialist reviewing your results remotely. The goal is to make it easier and more convenient for people with diabetes to get the eye care they need.
Currently, anyone with suspected serious diabetic eye disease must travel to a hospital to be seen by a specialist. This trial wants to know if community-based clinics can do the initial monitoring safely, which would save patients time and travel while still ensuring they get proper care.

You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives their usual care at the hospital with a specialist eye doctor. The other group gets their eye imaging done at a local community clinic using a special 3D camera, and a hospital specialist reviews your images remotely. Both groups would have their eye health monitored over time to see if the community-based approach is safe and works as well as hospital care.
