Results: The mean (95%CI) sensitivity for identifying eyes with any diabetic retinopathy was 67% (62% to 72%). sensitivity for identifying eyes with mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy or moderate non-proliferative at least 80% sensitivity and 95% specificity that has been previously set for diabetic retinopathy screening Conclusions: The evaluation of retinal images for diabetic retinopathy by Norwegian optometrists does not meet Keywords: Diabetic retinopathy, Optometrist, Sensitivity, Specificity, Retinal images, Case finding, Screening optometrists' assessment of retinal images is an unreliable method of screening for DR.
