    Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults, making early screening essential.

  • 2

    Ultra-widefield color fundus photography captures up to 200° of the retina, improving detection of peripheral lesions.

  • 3

    Combining UWF-CFP with deep learning algorithms enhances automated screening, grading, and vascular analysis for DR.

  • 4

    UWF-CFP's vascular parameters correlate with systemic complications, suggesting its role in assessing diabetic patients' risks.

  • 5

    The integration of UWF-CFP with AI and multimodal data may lead to a new model of eye-system collaborative management.
