How Was Your Eye Screening?

Eye screening is a specific test carried out to check for any eye problems or complications caused by diabetes.

Diabetes Isle of Man is looking to gather the eye screening experiences of those living with diabetes through an online survey.

Eye screening is a specific test carried out to check for any eye problems or complications caused by diabetes.

This type of screening is different to a regular eye check at the opticians, and involves pictures being taken of the back of your eyes (your retina).

This survey is aimed at people living with all types of diabetes. If you are the parent or carer of a child over 12 years old living with diabetes, you can fill this survey in on their behalf.

If your child is under 12 years old, you will not yet have been invited to the eye screening service and you should not fill in the survey. All responses are anonymous.

The survey Canberra found here https://mdg.im/eyescreening
