The primary objective of our manuscript was to report the prevalence of any diabetic retinopathy (DR) and vision-threatening DR among Indigenous (aged ≥40 years) and non-Indigenous (aged ≥50 years) Australians with known diabetes.1 Given the substantial burden of diabetes in Australia, coupled with a paucity of recent national population-based prevalence data on DR, this study was clearly warranted to assist planning for eye health care delive ry in Australia.
