Kowa Optimed has announced that its latest innovation, the Nonmyd WX 3D, has been approved for the English National Screening Programme for Diabetic Retinopathy in the UK. With over five million people expected to have diabetes in the UK by 2025, and with diabetic retinopathy being the main cause of blindness in the 16-65 year-old age group, the National Screening Programme aims to reduce the risk of sight loss by offering annual screening to diabetic patients for prompt identification and effective treatment of sight-threatening retinopathies.
