It’s important that patients living with AMD, glaucoma, ocular hypertension and diabetic retinopathy are monitored at least once every 12 months. Here are some long-term eye conditions that are suitable for OcuPlan private care

Age related macular degeneration (AMD)

Dry AMD is a common long-term eye disease for people over the age of 55. Regular monitoring can minimise the risk of sight loss, especially if dry AMD develops into wet AMD which can cause rapid sight loss if left untreated.

Ocular hypertension

Correct and frequent monitoring is necessary to protect your vision. Ocular hypertension can develop into glaucoma if not treated which can lead to irreversible damage.

Glaucoma

Once nerve damage occurs, loss of sight can be minimised by regular monitoring and treatment, often through drops to regulate eye pressure.

Diabetic retinopathy

Caused by high blood sugar levels, diabetic retinopathy can lead to sight loss if left undiagnosed and untreated. Regular monitoring through your optometrist and eye consultant will detect any changes to your eye health and minimise the risk of sight loss.

About OcuPlan

At OcuPlan, we provide private care for long-term eye conditions

We help protect people’s vision by making eye care more accessible and affordable for patients in the UK.

7 million people in the UK suffer from long-term eye conditions, and that number is set to double by 2035. Whilst the current systems in eye health care are trying hard to cope, they are unfortunately failing patients. At OcuPlan we believe there is a better way.

Using our nationwide network of optometrists and ophthalmologists, we are gradually helping more and more people to preserve their sight.

With prices starting at £19.99 per month, we help to provide the care that you need while saving you up to £500 a year on private eye care.
