Diabetes is the leading cause of preventable sight loss in adults, so don’t lose sight of your screening appointment
FREE annual diabetic eye screening for people with diabetes aged 12 years and older
If you have diabetes, you will receive an invitation to attend for screening. This invitation is not the same as your regular sight test at your Opticians which you should still attend.
The examination includes eye drops to dilate your pupils and then digital photographs will be taken of the back of your eyes (the retina). These photographs are then reviewed by accredited specialists. For more information, take a look at the website www.berkshiredes.nhs.uk
If you have NOT received an appointment letter, please contact the Booking Office (8.30am – 8pm) on 0118 391 3000 or enquiries.berkdes@nhs.net
