VENUES LISTED INSIDE

HOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

You can have your screening from any of the NHS venues or opticians listed in this leaflet. Some opticians offer early evening and weekend appointments as well as appointments on weekdays.

People with diabetes are at risk of developing a condition known as retinopathy. Screening picks up problems at a very early stage, when treatment can prevent sight loss.

Your screening appointment consists of 3 steps: 1. The clinician will take a short history of your diabetes & any previous eye problems before taking a visual acuity test. 2. Dilation drops are administered & you will be asked to wait 20 minutes for your pupils to dilate. 3. Photographs of your retina will be taken.

WE ADVISE YOU NOT TO DRIVE AFTER THIS TEST, AS YOUR VISION CAN BE BLURRED FOR A FEW HOURS

YOUR EYE SCREENING IS FREE OF CHARGE NHS & OPTOMETRY VENUES
