Dear colleague,
Thank you for your referral.
On exam, our patient was found to have non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema. Currently, their diabetic retinopathy requires no intervention at this time but I will watch them closely for progression. I explained to our patient the need for tighter glucose control in helping prevent future diabetic ocular complications.
In addition, our patient was found to have increased cupping of their optic nerves, putting them at risk for glaucoma. Baseline glaucoma testing will be performed and I will follow them as a glaucoma suspect.
Thank you again for allowing me to participate in their care.
Sincerely,
Gintien Huang, M.D.
