series of talks will introduce and sensitize you to the need to screen
for eye problems. This coincides with the launch of the New Diabetic
Retinopathy Screening (DRS) Clinic in the Eye division in association
with the Vision 2020 Links team. They have linked the Eye Clinic, UHWI
with the Homerton/Moorfields NHS Trust London, UK, whose collaborative
effort has assisted in establishing the new DRS clinic at UHWI
Come join us this Monday as we continue to save sight, one eye at a
time.
