Inclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with Type I or Type II Diabetes * Patients who are over the age of 18 years * Patients who have not previously been seen in the current year by the LACDHS Teleretinal Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Program and Reading Center * Patients whose teleretinal screening exam images yield readable results Exclusion Criteria: * Patients under the age of 18 years * Patients with gestational diabetes * Patients who have previously been seen in the current year by LACDHS's Teleretinal Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Program and Reading Center * Patients whose teleretinal screening exam images do not yield readable results, as gradable images are needed for later comparison against ophthalmologist reads. * Previously eligible patients who do not return for an in-person eye exam within 3 months of receiving a teleretinal screening (In order for the results of the teleretinal screening and in-person eye examinations to yield similar information, patients who do not return for their in-person eye exam within 3 months of their teleretinal screening will not be able to remain in the study. This is because significant eye changes not documented by the teleretinal screening may occur after a 3-month period).
