Diabetic Eye Screening

South West London Diabetic Eye Screening

The NHS provides FREE eye screening for people with diabetes aged 12 and over.

Have you attended your diabetic eye screening appointment ?

Eye screening is an important part of your diabetes care. Retinopathy often has no symptoms until the disease is advanced. If left undetected it can lead to sight loss.

To book an appointment, call 0333 456 0223 or visit this website (which includes an easy read leaflet).
