Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Programme

In 2020, we continued our almost decade-long screening and research into Diabetic Retinopathy across the oPt.

Our findings from this study will help us to understand barriers to both diagnosis and management of diabetes and to develop a new comprehensive programme to combat this growing epidemic.
