Diabetic eye screening

Diabetic eye screening is for people aged 12 years and over with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The test is to look for diabetic retinopathy, an eye condition caused when high blood sugar levels damage your eye.

Diabetic eye screening is the best way to prevent sight loss from diabetic retinopathy.
