Diabetic Retinopathy
Eye Disease Prevention
Diabetes & Blindness
Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes.
95% of Medicare Advantage plan members with diabetes were monitored for kidney disease1
Only 52% of diabetes patients in the managed security service provider (MSSP) ACO program was documented to have had a diabetes eye exam1
By implementing eye exams, PCP and Medicare Advantage plans can bring STAR/HEDIS compliant eye exams to patients at the point-of-care

HEDIS Care Gap
The Fundus Eye Exam: Not All Eye Exams are Equal. A fundus camera should not be confused with an ophthalmoscope. 50% of diabetic patients lack documentation of a retinal eye exam. The primary reasons may be due to the lack of access but most health plans and physician groups are interested in bringing HEDIS compliant eye exams directly to the patient. Consolidating this exam in a primary care clinic saves time, co-pays, and frustration. Our new technology can allow you to have a comprehensive retinal exam (without the use of dilating drops) and complete the exam in about 2-minutes from start to finish.
A fundus eye exam is critical to preventing and treating eye conditions that could potentially lead to vision loss like:
Diabetic retinopathy
High blood pressure
Macular degeneration
Retinal detachment
Glaucoma
Eye tumors
Diabetic Retinopathy is the most common cause of vision loss for people with diabetes:
• More than 2 in 5 Americans with diabetes have some stage of diabetic retinopathy
• There are NO symptoms in the early stages of the disease
• 95% of vision loss can be prevented with early detection
• 50% of Americans with diabetes are not tested for Diabetic Retinopathy
