Diabetic Eye Disease – A GP’s Perspective

This webinar, titled “Diabetic Eye Disease – A GP’s Perspective,” is designed to support General Practitioners in understanding their critical role in preventing vision loss among patients with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of preventable blindness among working-age Australians, and early detection is key to preserving sight. The session provides practical insights into how GPs can identify early signs, refer patients appropriately, and educate them on the importance of regular eye checks. It also explores the systemic links between diabetes management and ocular health, emphasizing the need for integrated care. Delivered by experienced clinicians, the webinar offers evidence-based strategies and case studies to enhance clinical decision-making. This session is part of MDFA’s commitment to reducing the impact of macular disease through professional education and public awareness. GPs will leave with actionable knowledge to improve patient outcomes and reduce preventable blindness.
