Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population, and it is a key ocular fundus disease that needs to be paid attention to in the next five years according to the "14th Five-Year" Plan for Eye Health. Promoting the systematic management of DR and constructing the chronic disease management system are the key to the next step of national eye health work. It is necessary to further improve the management mode of the whole course of DR patients with chronic eye disease through the joint action of medical security system at all levels, including strengthening supporting policies of primary medical institutions, optimizing medical service mode and process, strengthening scientific education to improve patients' and doctors' disease cognition, and updating authoritative Chinese DR guidelines to standardize diagnosis and treatment. It is hoped that the low vision and blindness caused by DR in China can be greatly reduced after the implementation of the "14th Five-Year" Plan for Eye Health.
