Diabetes can affect the small blood vessels in the retina, often with no symptoms until later. A regular screening is the most reliable way to protect your sight.
Who needs diabetic eye screening
- Everyone with type 1 or type 2 diabetes
- At least once a year, or as advised
- Sooner if you notice blurring, floaters or vision change
Why early checks matter
Early diabetic retinopathy usually has no symptoms. Finding changes early means they can be monitored or treated before vision is affected.
How we diagnose
Your screening includes a dilated retinal examination and, where needed, Heidelberg SPECTRALIS OCT imaging to assess the retina in detail. See our retina care and technology pages.
Treatment
Good blood-sugar control is the foundation. When treatment is needed, options such as laser or injections are discussed honestly and individualised to your stage.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I be screened?
Usually once a year for most people with diabetes, unless we advise a different interval.
Does the screening hurt?
No. It is a painless examination; dilating drops may blur your vision for a few hours.
