Many Australians with diabetes lose their sight because they don’t realise early enough that diabetes is affecting their eyes.
KeepSight is the national diabetes eye screening program that offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to prevent diabetes-related blindness by detecting problems early when they are treatable.
When a person with diabetes presents for an eye examination, with their permission, simply register them with KeepSight and record the details of their eye check.
This information will be used to trigger recall and reminder notices – it will encourage your patients to visit you for future eye examinations within the recommended timeframe. This will supplement your existing recall and reminder systems.
