Tóm tắt : | 850-857 Knowledge, attitudes and practices of 40 randomly selected physicians was assessed in the North Sharqiya region of Oman in 2003. We evaluated non-ophthalmologist physicians' knowledge of techniques of eye examination of diabetic patients, attitudes towards fundus examination and practices of detailed eye examination. Knowledge about different parts of the eye was satisfactory in only 58% of physicians and knowledge about method of fundus examination for diabetic retinopathy was poor in 40%. Attitudes towards eye examination by nonophthalmologists at primary level were positive. In practice 20 physicians had attempted to use an ophthalmoscope and only 9 could see details of the retina. Our general physicians would need detailed training if they are to be involved in early detection of diabetic retinopathy |
