About BARS

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of blindness in the UK's under 65 age group and retinal screening is an effective way to reduce or prevent visual loss from blood vessel damage.
BARS is an organisation for those primarily involved in providing retinal screening services for people with diabetes.
Our main aims are to provide a continuing educational, representational and support resource for those involved in screening both by using the internet and by the organisation of suitable conferences and meetings.
