Thank you for all your replies.

Greatly appreciated.

Being a diabetic myself I have the procedure done every two years at the Albox Medical Centre.   Your doctor will arrange same.

I recently went through this procedure which was done at Albox Medical Centre when I was referred there by my doctor in Arboleas, as described by Ella above.

You need an ophthalmologist, not an optician.  I'm not aware of one in Albox, my recommendation would go to Veravision in Vera http://www.veravision.es/en .

It is done at the Urgencia but you need to be referred by your doctor.   They take photographs of behind your eye to rule out glaucoma etc.   Cannot be done by an Optician.  Special equipment.   Hope this helps.

Hello
Does anyone know if there is an opticians in Albox that do the Retinal Screening for Diabetics (the one where they put a dye in your eyes).
Thanks.
