Eye Screening
In Dorset, an optometry based diabetic eye screening service has been working very successfully for 20 years. From 1 January 2007 it is a national requirement that diabetic eye screening is undertaken using digital photography.
This website is being developed as the changes in the eye screening programme for Dorset occur over the next 12 months so please bear with us as we work on this. The project team would be pleased to have your suggestions as to what you would like included on the website.
