Early detection for diabetic eye disease, right at home

Skip the drive and the waiting room. This at-home diabetic eye screening helps catch vision-threatening changes before symptoms appear and is recommended annually for people with diabetes. A licensed clinician comes to your home, the visit takes just 20–30 minutes, and your results are reviewed by trained clinical professionals.

Catching vision changes before they matter

Diabetic retinopathy often develops without symptoms. Early detection gives you time to work with your doctor on treatment before vision is affected. This screening helps you stay independent and keep doing the things you care about.

  • Spot problems before they affect your sight
  • Stay independent and keep living your life
  • Take action early with your doctor, if needed

Questions

Answers to what matters most about your screening visit.

How does an in-home diabetic retinopathy screening work?

Our in-home screening service brings professional diabetic retinopathy screening directly to you. A trained medical technician visits your home and uses a mobile retinal imaging device to take detailed photographs of the back of your eyes. This process is designed to be convenient, comfortable, and accessible, especially for patients who may have difficulty traveling to a clinic.

Who should get screened for diabetic retinopathy?

Anyone living with diabetes, whether type 1 or type 2, should receive routine diabetic eye screenings. Even patients who feel their vision is normal should still be screened, as retinal changes can occur silently. Most medical guidelines recommend screening at least once per year, but your provider may suggest more frequent monitoring depending on your health history.

Why is screening for diabetic retinopathy important?

Screening is important because diabetic retinopathy often develops without any noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Many patients do not realize there is damage occurring until vision changes begin, and by then the condition may be more advanced. Regular retinal screenings help detect early signs of disease, allowing patients to receive treatment sooner and reduce the risk of serious complications.

What is diabetic retinopathy?

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that can occur in people with diabetes when high blood sugar damages the small blood vessels in the retina, which is the part of the eye responsible for vision. Over time, these blood vessels can leak, swell, or become blocked, leading to vision problems. If left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause permanent vision loss, which is why early detection is so important.
