Preparing for your Diabetic Eye Screening? We’ve got you covered! 📋👓

A routine screening is vital for managing diabetes, and a little preparation makes your visit smooth and stress-free. We’ve designed this simple patient checklist so you don’t forget the essentials.

We strongly emphasize the need for a designated driver, as vision will be significantly impaired by dilating eye drops for up to six hours post-appointment.

Celebrate National Fish & Chip Day 2026 with a focus on both flavour and health!

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just looking for a tasty treat, remember that a "diabetic eye screening point of view" means making mindful choices to protect your vision.

Smart Ways to Celebrate:

Opt for Healthy Swaps: Try grilled fish or oven-baked chips to keep blood glucose levels in a better range.

Portion Control: Sharing a large portion or choosing a junior meal can prevent spikes in blood sugar.

Monitor Your Health: High sugar and unhealthy fats can damage the delicate blood vessels in your eyes, leading to diabetic retinopathy.

Keep Your Appointments: Regular screening is the best way to detect changes early and reduce the risk of vision loss.

Enjoy Britain's favourite dish while keeping your eyesight a top priority. Happy National Fish & Chip Day!

Don't skip your diabetic eye screening—annual screening matters!
