๐Ÿฅ The NHS has introduced advanced digital eye screening with optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology for people with diabetes, aiming to prevent sight loss and reduce hospital backlogs. This initiative allows around 60,000 patients to access high-quality scans closer to home, detecting diabetic retinopathy early and saving up to 120,000 hospital appointments annually. By offering detailed 3D imaging, OCT ensures earlier interventions, preserving vision and easing pressure on healthcare services.
