    This document outlines a framework for designing effective diabetic retinopathy (DR) programs. It discusses the current status of DR diagnosis and treatment protocols and the low screening coverage of diabetics. The framework focuses on equipment, attitudes, ownership, quality, staff skills, awareness creation, partnerships, costs, access barriers, outreach activities, treatment strategies, and developing an intervention service model with infrastructure and human resource development. Metrics show the increasing number of diabetics examined and treated at one hospital over time and rising laser procedures for DR. The framework has been replicated in other countries and Indian states and was used to create a DR management manual.
