What happens if the test shows diabetic eye disease?
If your optometrist sees signs of diabetic eye disease, a second qualified person will check the photographs. If the signs are confirmed and sight threatening, an eye specialist will look at the photographs. You will then be called to an eye clinic. If the signs of diabetic eye disease are present but not threatening your sight, you may need to have more photographs taken to monitor the eye changes at a shorter interval than the normal 12 months. You will receive a letter telling you of the recommendation.
