Knowledge, attitudes and practices of 40 randomly selected physicians was assessed in the North Sharqiya region of Oman in 2003. We evaluated non-ophthalmologist physicians' knowledge of techniques of eye examination of diabetic patients, attitudes towards fundus examination and practices of detailed eye examination. Knowledge about different parts of the eye was satisfactory in only 58% of physicians and knowledge about method of fundus examination for diabetic retinopathy was poor in 40%. Attitudes towards eye examination by non-ophthalmologists at primary level were positive. In practice 20 physicians had attempted to use an ophthalmoscope and only 9 could see details of the retina. Our general physicians would need detailed training if they are to be involved in early detection of diabetic retinopathy.
2003年，在阿曼的北沙尔基亚地区对随机挑选的40名医生的知识、态度和实践情况进行了评估。我们评估了非眼科医生对糖尿病患者眼部检查技术的了解、对眼底检查的态度以及详细眼部检查的实践情况。只有58%的医生对眼睛不同部位的知识掌握情况令人满意，40%的医生对糖尿病视网膜病变的眼底检查方法了解不足。基层非眼科医生对眼部检查的态度是积极的。在实践中，20名医生曾尝试使用检眼镜，只有9人能看清视网膜的细节。如果要让我们的全科医生参与糖尿病视网膜病变的早期检测，他们需要接受详细的培训。
