[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1649595, member: 410240"] The technicians who look at the photos are very good at picking up diabetic retinopathy before it becomes untreatable. If I recall correctly the diabetic eye screaming program has at least halved the number of people going blind due to diabetes. A letter is sent out to everyone who the technician considers to be at risk giving them an appointment with an expert eye doctor. The screening program is there so that the eye doctors can spend lots of time with the 5% of people who are at greatest risk. A normal eye test is not good at picking up diabetic retinopathy but will pick up lots of other issues, therefore it is best to have both. [/QUOTE]
