Specialist Monitoring to Protect Your Vision
Diabetes can significantly affect the health of your eyes, often without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. At Drury Porter Eyecare, our diabetic eye screening service provides thorough assessments to detect, monitor, and manage diabetic retinopathy — a condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
Early detection and regular monitoring are essential for safeguarding long-term eye health.
What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina. Over time, this can lead to:
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Bleeding inside the eye
- Scar tissue formation
- Permanent vision loss
Routine screenings help identify these changes early, before they affect your sight.
What Happens During a Diabetic Eye Screening?
Your screening includes:
- Detailed retinal examination
- Retinal imaging or OCT scanning (if required)
- Visual acuity and prescription check
- Assessment of blood vessel health
- Monitoring for swelling, bleeding, or new vessel growth
These tests are quick, non-invasive, and provide highly accurate results.
Why Diabetic Eye Screening Is Important
Regular screenings allow us to:
- Detect early signs of diabetic changes
- Monitor progression over time
- Work with your GP or diabetic care team when needed
- Provide advice to help protect your eyes
- Prevent serious complications through early intervention
