Frequently Asked Questions
A. People with diabetes, sudden floaters or flashes of light, a curtain or shadow over their vision, distorted central vision, or a family history of retinal disease should have their retina examined by a specialist.
A. Most people with diabetes should have a dilated retina examination at least once a year, even if their vision seems normal, because diabetic retinopathy often has no early symptoms.
A. Yes. Sudden flashes, a shower of floaters or a shadow spreading across your vision need urgent assessment, because early treatment gives the best chance of saving sight.
A. The eye is numbed with anaesthetic drops before the injection, so most patients feel only mild pressure. The procedure takes a few minutes.
