Standard vs Ultrawide-field Fundus
Photographs in the Management
of Diabetic Retinopathy

Standard Fundus Photographs Commonly used,
validated protocols for
digital images for DR
and DME include
• Modified ETDRS 7-field
stereoscopic digital
photos (30° or 35°)
• 4-field wide angle
stereoscopic digital
photos (45° to 60°)
2 Photographs from http://eyephoto.ophth.wisc.edu Gangaputra S, et al. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2011;52(9):6168-73.
Disadvantages of current methods
• Need pupillary dilation
• Up to 16 or more flashes per eye
• Extensive training and certification of imagers
• Combined 7 standard fields cover <100° of
retina- peripheral lesions may be missed

Standard Fundus Photographs
Ultrawide-field Retinal Imaging Options Retcam
• Contact lens based system with up to 130° field
Staurenghi lens
• SLO compatible contact lens
• Up to 150° field
Heidelberg system
• Noncontact, widefield lens snaps onto camera head
Optos system • Noncontact SLO technology scans simultaneously with green
and red laser wavelengths
• 100º and 200º fields

Do peripheral lesions predict future
progression of DR over time?
Ultrawide Field Study Rationale If peripheral DR lesions improve our ability to
predict DR worsening or improvement, this
could:
• Change patient management: evaluation and
follow-up
• Give new insights into mechanisms for
changes in retinal pathology
• Allow fewer images leading to faster imaging
time and greater patient comfort 12
Objectives
Primary objective
• To assess whether presence or severity of
hallmark DR lesions located outside the
standard ETDRS fields on ultrawide-field
(UWF) images is associated with increased
rates of DR or DME worsening or
improvement over time
13
Study Design Prospective, observational longitudinal study
Enrollment criteria
• Adults with diabetes with a wide range of DR and DME
severity.
• Eyes that have not previously received treatment with
intravitreal agents over the prior 12 months and
treatment is not anticipated for the next 6 months
• Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (ETDRS level
>35, < 60) based on modified 7 field ETDRS grading.
14
Study Design
Follow-up: Annually for 3-5 years
Study procedures:
• Baseline and Annual Visits
o Best corrected VA and eye exam
o UWF images
o DRCR.net 7 std field protocol images
o SD OCT
o BP and HbA1c 15
Expected Major Study Outcomes
Cross Sectional Analysis at Baseline
• Level of agreement between DR or DME severity as
graded on UWF vs DRCR.net protocol images
Longitudinal Analysis
• Association between additional peripheral lesions
identified on UWF not within the ETDRS 7 std fields
and rate of DR worsening or improvement
