Two-year recall

The National Diabetes Eye Screening Programme has decided that people who have had two normal diabetes eye screenings in a row are at low risk of developing sight threatening diabetic eye disease.  For this reason they have changed the time interval between one screening and the next, to two years. 

The National Programme’s website contains some more details.  There are two links discussing this change.  Both are set out below. These give more information: -
