Abstract:
The incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adolescents has been rapidly increasing over the past two decades due to dramatic changes in dietary structure and physical activity. The incidence of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a serious vision-threatening complication of diabetes, is also increasing yearly in the adolescent population with T2DM. Due to the insidious onset of retinal diseases in the early stages, regular screening is important for the timely diagnosis of DR. However, there are still problems such as low attention of the population and insufficient screening rate. In the future, we should strengthen the health education of the adolescent population and optimize the control of risk factors such as blood glucose and blood pressure. At the same time, appropriate screening strategies should be actively developed, and the use of telemedicine and emerging technologies should be promoted for early detection of treatable lesions to improve patient prognosis.
