Changes to Diabetic Eye Screening in Wales

Diabetic Eye Screening in Wales is changing for people who are at low risk of diabetic eye disease with effect from 26th June 2023.

If your last two diabetic eye screenings showed no sign of diabetic eye disease, you will now be safely screened every two years instead of every year.

You can read the announcement of the change on the Public Health Wales website. Diabetes UK has produced a list of Frequently Asked Questions about the change, which you can read here.
