Diabetic retinal photography is a screening test which helps prevent blindness caused by diabetic retinopathy, an eye disease common among diabetic patients.
Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness in Singapore. Bleeding blood capillaries damage the retina of diabetes mellitus patients, leading to blindness if the vital areas are affected. However, most cases of diabetic retinopathy can be prevented by early detection and monitoring of the eyes.
Diabetic Retinal Photography (DRP) screening is available in all our clinics and is carried out by specially-trained nurses.
We aim to help patients diagnosed with diabetes detect early retinal changes so as to reduce the risk of deterioration and prevent blindness.
