About
The address listed on this page is the location of the local screening service office, not a screening clinic.
The service delivers diabetic eye screening in a variety of locations throughout the area, including GP surgeries, hospitals and optician practices.
People aged 12 or over with diabetes are usually invited for diabetic eye screening every 1 or 2 years. Some people at higher risk of sight loss may need screening more often.
The only exceptions are people with diabetic eye disease who are already under the care of an ophthalmology specialist.
The screening test usually takes around 30 minutes. Screening does not replace regular eye examinations and it is important to attend both.
