ABSTRACT

Modifications of the diagnostic criteria of diabetes and arterial hypertension require an accessible clinical tool to evaluate their impact on microvascular complications. The International Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Disease Severity Scale represents a unification of previous classifications of the disease, in a simplified way to be applied clinically, regardless of medical specialty. The scale features five categories of diabetic retinopathy; a diabetic macular scale has also been developed. As the scale usage increases both in ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic practice, it would be advisable to incorporate it to clinical practice, in order to make comparisons of treatment and prognosis of diabetic retinopathy with international series.
