When should a case of Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) with a history of diabetes for one year, undergo an ophthalmic examination?
Correct Answer: As early as feasible
Description: Patients with type 2 diabetes should have an initial dilated eye examination at the time of diagnosis of diabetes and annually thereafter. Since this patient was diagnosed as a case of type 2 diabetes 1 year ago, she should have an eye examination as early as possible. Ref: Diabetes in Women: Adolescence, Pregnancy and Menopause By E. Albe Reece, 3rd Edition Page 99; Comprehensive Ophthalmology By A K Khurana, 4th Edition, Page 260-2.
