If shown to work reliably, the online test could become an affordable tool

In addition, they point to the potential role for using these autoantibody tests for
more widespread screening to detect this newly discovered syndrome in other patients with type 1 diabetes.
Dr Cuadros and coauthors conclude, «Low - cost and reliable methods of detecting clinically significant macular edema, such as the use of a hard exudate surrogate marker described here, are needed to meet the challenge
of widespread screening for this vision - threatening condition.»
