Description
Xiaoli Niu, Bruce Burkemper, and Xuejuan Jiang tracked eye exams among Californians with diabetes in this 2025 paper. Diabetes can blind through retinal damage, and a yearly dilated eye exam catches it early. Whether exam rates rose or fell over a decade, including the pandemic years, was uncharted for the state.
The team re-analyzed a large annual health survey of California adults, covering 2011 to 2021. Each cycle sampled over twenty thousand people, weighted to stand for the whole state. The outcome was simple: did the person report a dilated eye exam in the past year? Regression models split the trend by age, race, sex, and income. The decade view shows where screening programs gained ground and where diabetic patients still miss a sight-saving check.
