Booking or changing your eye screening appointment

We offer screening to people with diabetes within 3 months of a diagnosis. Your GP tells us who has been diagnosed so that we can add people to our register.

Your first diabetic eye screening appointment

We will send you an appointment in the post.

Changing your appointment

If the appointment is not convenient, it is important that you tell us so that we can change it to a more suitable time and place. Our phone number for appointments and general enquiries is 01904 726640. We have an answer machine to take messages for calls outside office hours.

Your contact details

If you move house, change telephone number or GP, then please ring us on 01904 726640 so we can keep your details up to date.


What to bring to your appointment

Please bring the following with you to your appointment:

  • Your screening invitation letter
  • All the glasses and contact lenses you wear along with lens solution for contacts
  • Bring sunglasses as your eyes can feel sensitive after the eye drops
  • You may want to bring someone with you to the appointment
