The KeepSight programme, delivered by Diabetes Australia in partnership with the eye sector, is designed to increase the number of people with diabetes undergoing regular comprehensive eye examinations. In doing so, the programme helps detect eye problems that can lead to vision loss.
By sending reminders to registered patients, KeepSight makes it easier for people with diabetes to remember when they are due to get their eyes checked. The KeepSight reminders supplement existing recall and reminder systems within eye care practices.
As an eye care professional, you can help your patients with diabetes by introducing them to the KeepSight programme and, with their consent, record details of their eye check via Oculo or Optomate or the KeepSight website. Patients can also register themselves on the KeepSight website.
