Diabetic Eye Screening:

Diabetic eye screening is a test to check for eye problems caused by diabetes. Eye problems caused by diabetes are called diabetic retinopathy. This can lead to sight loss if it’s not found early.

Who is invited:

If you have diabetes and you’re aged 12 or over, you’ll get a letter asking you to have your eyes checked at least once a year.
