Diabetic Eye Care
Regular, dilated screening that catches diabetic eye changes early, before they ever begin to affect your vision.
A closer look at your care.
Diabetes can quietly damage the tiny blood vessels at the back of the eye, a condition called diabetic retinopathy, long before you notice any change in your vision. It is one of the most common causes of avoidable sight loss, and also one of the most preventable when it is caught early.
A dilated retinal examination at least once a year is the single best protection. We screen, monitor and treat diabetic eye changes, and work alongside your overall diabetes care to keep your sight safe.

Why yearly screening matters
- Diabetic retinopathy often has no symptoms in its early, treatable stages
- Blurred or fluctuating vision can come and go with blood-sugar swings
- New floaters or dark spots may signal bleeding at the back of the eye
- Good sugar and blood-pressure control plus screening protects sight best
Simple, clear and unhurried.
Annual screening
A dilated examination and imaging check the retina even when vision feels fine.
Early treatment
If changes are found, laser or medical treatment is started promptly.
Regular review
Ongoing monitoring keeps pace with your diabetes and protects your vision.
Questions, answered.
At least once a year, even with perfect vision. More frequent checks may be advised if any diabetic changes are already present.
Yes. Caught early, diabetic retinopathy responds well to laser and medical treatment. The key is detecting it before it affects vision, which is why screening matters.
Very much so. Steady blood sugar and blood pressure markedly reduce the risk and progression of diabetic eye disease, alongside regular screening.
