If you have diabetes and you're aged 12 or over, you'll get a letter every 1 or 2 years asking you to have an eye screening test. Sometimes you may have a choice of:

• when you have the test
• where you have the test – there may be more than 1 place to choose from in your area

Follow the instructions on the letter to book a test.

What to do if you do not get a letter

If you think you're due to go for a screening test and have not had a letter, tell either:

• your GP practice
• your local eye screening service – check any old letters you have or search for your eye screening service to find contact details
