Keep in mind that the test wouldn't be administered on any randomly chosen diabetic patient but presumably rather on those who already exhibit some type of vision imparement consistent with the disease. As a result, the prior of 200k / 29M is not quite right and I'm guessing that the true prior is likely much higher.

Not true. The aim is to treat patients before they become symptomatic. Outcomes are much worse otherwise. 2min promo on Diabetic Eye Screening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK1Y-1BKFn0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK1Y-1BKFn0
