Diabetic Eye Screening
The Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire Diabetic Eye Screening Programme provides a key part of your diabetic care, offering a simple retinal examination which can identify sight-threatening diabetic complications.
Diabetic retinopathy is the most commonly described complication of diabetes and it is one of the leading cause of blindness in the working age population in the western world.
The screening is carried out by highly qualified Diabetic Eye Screening staff, based at Milton Keynes, Stoke Mandeville, Wycombe and Amersham Hospitals. We also have a clinic operating once a week at Burnham Medical Centre. The process takes approximately 40 minutes.
Each year you will receive a letter from the programme inviting you to attend for eye screening, using digital photography. Everyone 12 years and over will be invited to attend for eye screening.
When you call about your appointment, one of our administration team will check your details and book or change your appointment for you.
