Are you ready for the OCT pathway in DESP? OCT is set to be integrated into the English National Diabetic Eye Screening Surveillance Pathway, significantly enhancing the management of patients with mild diabetic maculopathy. This advancement allows patients to remain within a surveillance pathway overseen by retinal screening rather than being immediately referred to the Hospital Eye Service (HES).
