Diabetic eye screening

Photographs of the back of both eyes, once a year, whatever your sight is like.

  • thirty-five minutes (+ten minutes first visit)
  • $105

Diabetes can damage the small vessels at the back of the eye long before sight changes, and the treatable stage is the silent one. The screening is a set of photographs and a careful look, repeated yearly so that this year's can be compared with last year's — which is the comparison that finds the change, not the photograph on its own.

A screening is not a diagnosis. A screening sorts people into those who need a closer look and those who do not. It is not a diagnosis, and a normal result today means nothing was found today.

What we will tell you is what was measured, what the numbers were, whether they have changed since last time, and whether that is a reason to be looked at by somebody else. That is a finding and a destination. It is not a verdict.

What this includes

  • Photographs of the retina of each eye
  • A look at the macula, where the detail vision lives
  • The findings written down and sent to whoever looks after your diabetes
  • A clear answer about whether anything needs to be seen sooner

What this is not

  • We do not manage diabetes and nothing here changes your medication
  • A normal screening this year is not a reason to skip next year's
  • Anything needing treatment goes to an ophthalmologist; we do not treat it here
