01 / WHAT MATTERS ON THE EXAM

Diabetic retinopathy: microaneurysms, dot-blot hemorrhages and hard exudates; neovascularization marks proliferative disease — anti-VEGF or laser.

02 / WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Fundus photo with microaneurysms, dot-blot hemorrhages, hard exudates, neovascularization

03 / WATCH OUT FOR

Macular edema can threaten central vision at any retinopathy stage; absence of neovascularization does not mean that sight-threatening diabetic eye disease is absent.
