Diabetic eye screening
People with diabetes are at risk of damage from diabetic retinopathy, a condition that can lead to sight loss if it's not treated. That is why people who are diabetic should attend eye screening every year. All people aged 12 and over with diabetes (type 1 and 2) are offered eye screening appointments every year.
