Diagnosis and screening
Screening plays an important preventative role in eye health as early detection and treatment of eye problems, such as diabetic retinopathy and cataract, can prevent vision impairment and blindness. These measures provide information on eye health diagnosis and screening services to assist in the monitoring of the adequacy of services provided to Indigenous people.
