摘　　要：Diabetic retinopathy(DR) is the worldwide leading cause of legal blindness. In 2010, 1.9% of diabetes mellitus(DM) patients were legally blind and 10.2% had visual impairment. The control of DM parameters(glycemia, arterial tension and lipids) is the gold standard for preventing DR complications, although, unfortunately, DR still appeared in a 25% to 35% of patients. The stages of severe vision threading DR, include proliferative DR(6.96%) and diabetic macular edema(6.81%). This review aims to update our knowledge on DR screening using telemedicine, the different techniques, the problems, and the inclusion of different professionals such as family physicians in care programs.Diabetic retinopathy （DR） is the worldwide leadingcause of legal blindness.
