Check for Diabetes-Related Eye Change
This screening is suitable for individuals with diabetes who wish to monitor their eye health or who have concerns about diabetes-related changes in their vision.
Diabetes can affect the blood vessels in the retina, sometimes without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Regular eye screening plays an important role in identifying early signs of diabetic-related eye changes.
The screening includes an eye health assessment by an optometrist, vision and eye power checks, and a retinal examination to assess for changes that may be associated with diabetes.
If further evaluation is required, a referral to an ophthalmologist will be arranged.
Who should consider this screening
- Individuals with diabetes, including Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
- Those recently diagnosed with diabetes
- Individuals with long-standing diabetes who have not had a recent eye check
- Patients experiencing blurred vision or fluctuating vision
- Anyone seeking a routine diabetic eye screening or a second opinion
