At The Family Opticians, we understand the importance of regular eye examinations for people living with diabetes. Diabetes can affect the eyes without causing noticeable symptoms in the early stages, which is why routine diabetic eye screening is essential for protecting long-term vision.

Diabetic eye screening allows us to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy and other diabetes-related eye conditions before they impact your sight. Using advanced imaging technology, our optometrists carefully examine the retina and blood vessels at the back of the eye to identify any changes as early as possible.

Early detection and timely referral or management can significantly reduce the risk of vision loss. Even if your vision feels normal, diabetes can still cause damage over time, making regular screening a vital part of your overall health care.

Our experienced team provides a calm, professional, and supportive environment, explaining results clearly and advising on the next steps where necessary. We work closely with GPs and hospital eye services to ensure continuity of care when referrals are required.

If you have diabetes, we strongly recommend attending regular diabetic eye screenings as advised by your healthcare provider. To book an appointment or to learn more about diabetic eye screening services, please contact The Family Opticians.
