How to get diabetic eye screening
You’ll usually get a letter through the post inviting you for diabetic eye screening. The letter may give you a pre-booked appointment or tell you how to book the appointment yourself.

You may be offered a choice of when and where you can get the screening test.

You’ll usually be invited for diabetic eye screening when you’re diagnosed with diabetes, every year after, or every 2 years if your last 2 tests found no changes in your eyes.

Your invitation letter will tell you how to change or cancel an appointment if you cannot attend.
