Diabetic Eye Screening
Why is it important?
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina that can cause vision loss or even blindness if untreated. Early detection through screening is crucial.
Who should get screened?
All people with diabetes aged 12 and over should have an annual eye screening.
What happens during a screening?
We take photos of the back of your eyes to check for any signs of damage. The screening itself is painless and takes about 15 minutes.
How often should I get screened?
At least every 2 years.
How can I prepare for a screening?
Wear your glasses or contact lenses as normal, bring a list of your current medications, and let us know if you have any questions.
