High blood glucose over a long time can cause eye problems. Yearly appointments for photos of the back of the eyes (“retinal images”) are arranged for those over 12 years of age to help find early eye problems.
- See our information sheet on what happens at your retinal screening appointment.
- If you have any concerns about changes to your eyes please contact your optician. Please visit NHS Inform for more information on the newly revised eye screening intervals in Scotland.
If you would like to check you are on the waiting list for eye screening please phone 01324 566249 or email diabeticretinalscreening@nhs.scot.
