If you're living with diabetes it's important that you attend your eye screening appointments 👀

While it's different to a regular sight test at the opticians, it can spot changes in your eyes before you notice any symptoms or changes to your vision, including early signs of diabetic retinopathy.

Diabetes health checks are part of your routine NHS treatment. There are 9 checks, and eye screening is one of them ✅

➡️ Learn more: https://orlo.uk/z9Qxz

📢 And if you aren't getting eye check appointments, contact your GP or hospital team. They can refer you to your nearest eye check service.
