Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults in the UK and often develops without any noticeable symptoms.

Missing your diabetic eye screening can increase your risk of preventable sight loss, with young adults being the age group most likely to miss appointments.

That's why regular screening is so important early detection can help protect your sight.

Eight in ten people living with diabetes report experiencing negative perceptions ranging from judgemental attitudes and generalisations to blame and shame.

This is known as diabetes stigma, and it has significant and harmful consequences for millions of individuals.

We are therefore committed to a ‘Strike Out Stigma’ initiative. Our objective is to reinforce that diabetes is not a personal choice, nor is it an individual failing.

Since October 2023, the screening interval for diabetic eye screening in England has changed for people at lower risk. If your last two screenings (Routine Digital Screening pathway only) have shown no signs of diabetic retinopathy, you may be invited for screening every 2 years instead of every year, in line with expert guidance confirming this is safe.

However, there are some exceptions. You may still need annual screening if you:

• Are taking GLP-1 medication for weight loss
• Are using an insulin pump

If this applies to you and you would like your screening interval reviewed, please contact us at:
