Diabetic Retinopathy
SCREENING – March 19-20, 2025
Everyone who has diabetes should undergo a yearly retinal examination. Diabetes damages the retina (nerve lining inside the eye), causing diabetic retinopathy, now a leading cause of blindness among working-age adults.
Retinal photography allows early detection of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy. Please do not wait until you experience vision problems as treatment is less effective in later stages.
What Is Included?
- Visual acuity check
- Intraocular pressure measurement
- Retinal photography [with pupil dilation]
PLEASE CALL CORRINE AT BLOOD TRIBE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT.
