Role of retinal biomarkers in diabetes detection and risk prediction: A systematic scoping review
Eye imaging may reveal early diabetes and heart disease risk without invasive testing, opening a painless screening avenue.
This scoping review examines retinal biomarkers for early diabetes detection and cardiovascular risk prediction, an emerging area of non-invasive diagnostics. It covers imaging-based biomarkers that could complement traditional screening.
