We are excited to have been asked to help play a small part in some exciting research conducted by Western Sydney University.
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the serious complications of diabetes where blood vessels in the eye are damaged, leading to vision loss. This research will examine a simple and non-invasive technique of using biomarker measurements from tears and saliva, which may help in the early identification of people at risk of developing eye disease.
We will have a collection day at our practice (105 Rankin Street) on Wednesday February 25.
If you can spare 15-20 minutes, we would love you to call in and supply a tear and saliva sample.
Adults with or without diabetes, or diabetic retinopathy, are required.
Please call the practice on 6332 5222, scan the QR code or message us, to arrange a time.
Many thanks!
