Cysylltir â phob un o’r 165,000 o’r bobl gymwys dros 12 oed yng Nghymru, pob un ohonyn nhw â diabetes, i’w hannog i fanteisio ar eu gwahoddiad blynyddol i’w  hapwyntiad am ddim ar gyfer sgrinio’r retina.  
  
Mae’n bwysig iawn sgrinio’r retina’n rheolaidd, gan fod y newidiadau yn y llygaid sy’n cael eu hachosi gan ddiabetes – sef retinopathi diabetig – yn gallu difetha golwg y sawl sydd â’r cyflwr, ac mae’n aml heb unrhyw symptomau. Serch hynny, mae’r broses sgrinio’n gallu nodi’r newidiadau hyn mor gynnar fel y gallai’r driniaeth fod yn llwyddiannus gan achub eich golwg.  
  
Wrth siarad cyn lansio’r ymgyrch ym Mhrif Ganolfan Sgrinio Llygaid Diabetig Cymru yn Nhrefforest, dywedodd Rebecca Evans, Gweinidog Iechyd y Cyhoedd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol: 

 
> “Gallai’r profiad o golli’ch golwg beri loes a phroblemau anferth yn eich bywyd, a dyna pam bod ni’n bwriadu gwneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i sicrhau bod pobl yn cael yr holl wybodaeth a chymorth y mae eu hangen i ofalu am eu llygaid.  
>   
> “Mae 'na berygl real iawn y gallai’r rheini sy’n byw gyda diabetes golli eu golwg \- ond y peth pwysig ydy ei bod yn bosibl osgoi hynny. Os oes gennych chi ddiabetes, a’ch bod dros 12 oed, dylech sicrhau bod retina’ch llygaid yn cael eu sgrinio’n rheolaidd drwy gadw eich apwyntiad gyda gwasanaeth Sgrinio Llygaid Diabetig Cymru. Mae’r broses sgrinio’n chwilio am y newidiadau hynny yn y llygaid sy’n gallu peri i rywun fynd yn ddall, ac yn bendant mae’r gwasanaeth yn gallu lleihau’r risg y gallech golli’ch golwg.”

   
Dywedodd Andrew Crowder, Pennaeth Rhaglen Sgrinio Llygaid Diabetig Cymru, Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, a Hyrwyddwr Clinigol Diabetes UK:

 
> “Drwy sicrhau eich bod yn cadw’ch apwyntiadau rheolaidd ar gyfer sgrinio’r retina, gyda gwasanaeth Sgrinio Llygaid Diabetig Cymru, gallwn helpu i ddiogelu eich golwg. Mae ein gwasanaeth yn gallu canfod newidiadau i’r retina yn gynnar iawn – cyn ichi sylweddoli bod yna broblemau ac ar adeg pan fydd y driniaeth yn dal i fod yn effeithiol iawn.   
>   
> “Rydyn ni’n cynnal ein gwasanaeth sgrinio ar hyd a lled Cymru, felly bydd yna glinig rhywle’n agos i’ch cartref chi. Os ydyn ni’n cynnig gwahoddiad sydd ddim yn gyfleus ichi, cysylltwch â ni er mwyn inni allu trefnu apwyntiad arall. Y peth pwysicaf ydy eich bod yn dod draw aton ni, ac wedyn byddwch yn gadael gan wybod eich bod wedi cymryd cam pwysig a phendant tuag at ddiogelu eich golwg.”

 Dywedodd Dai Williams, Cyfarwyddwr Diabetes UK Cymru: 

 
> “Mae llai na hanner y bobl sy’n dioddef o ddiabetes yn sylweddoli y gallai’r cyflwr achosi dallineb, ac mae hynny’n destun pryder mawr inni. Mae retinopathi diabetig yn gyflwr difrifol iawn sy’n gallu effeithio ar unrhyw un sy’n byw gyda diabetes. Mae mwy o berygl hefyd y gallai pobl sydd â diabetes ddatblygu problemau eraill gyda’u llygaid, fel glawcoma a chataractau. Yn aml, pan fydd problem yn dechrau, does dim symptomau, sy’n golygu bod perygl y gallai pobl ei gadael hi’n rhy hwyr i gael triniaeth, a bod niwed parhaol eisoes wedi digwydd.  
>   
> “Dyna pam rydyn ni’n cefnogi’r ymgyrch hon i helpu pobl i reoli eu clefyd, ac i sicrhau bod pobl sy’n byw gyda diabetes yng Nghymru bob amser yn cadw eu hapwyntiadau sgrinio llygaid, ac yn cael eu profion llygaid arferol. Gall yr arbenigwyr nodi unrhyw broblemau gan sicrhau eu bod yn cael eu trin yn gynnar. Drwy sicrhau eich bod yn cael y driniaeth y mae ei hangen arnoch, gallech wneud y gwahaniaeth rhwng colli eich golwg neu ei achub.”

All 165,000 eligible people over the age of 12 in Wales with diabetes will be contacted to urge them to take up their annual invitation to their free retinopathy screening appointment.  
  
Regular retinal screening is important, as sight\-threatening changes in the eye caused by diabetes – known as ‘diabetic retinopathy’ – are often without symptoms. Screening can pick up these changes at a stage where treatment may prevent sight loss.  
  
Speaking ahead of the launch of the campaign at Diabetic Eye Screening Wales’ headquarters in Treforest, Minister for Social Services and Public Health, Rebecca Evans, said: 

 
> “Loss of sight can be devastating, which is why we are doing everything we can to ensure people have all the information and support they need to take care of their eyesight.  
>   
> “People living with diabetes are at particular risk of sight loss – but this complication is avoidable. If you have diabetes and are over 12 you should be having your eyes screened for retinopathy by attending your free Diabetic Eye Screening Wales appointment.  The screening looks for specific changes in the eye that cause blindness, and it is effective at reducing your risk of sight loss.”

 Andrew Crowder, Head of Programme for Diabetic Eye Screening Wales, Public Health Wales and Diabetes UK Clinical Champion, said: 

 
> “By regularly attending for your retinopathy screening with Diabetic Eye Screening Wales, we can help keep your sight safe.  Our service is specially designed to detect retinopathy at a very early stage – before you know you have it and when treatment is still very effective. 
> 
>  “We screen all over Wales, so there will be clinics running near to where you live. But if we do offer an invitation that doesn’t suit you, just contact us and we’ll find something else that does. The most important thing is that you come along and you’ll leave knowing that you’ve done the right thing to protect your precious sight.”

 Diabetes UK Cymru’s Director Dai Williams said:

 
> “Fewer than half of people with diabetes realise that it can cause blindness, which is a real worry. Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication that can affect anyone living with the condition, who will also be at higher risk of developing other eye conditions like glaucoma and cataracts. Also, when problems begin there often won’t be any symptoms, which means people might leave treatment too late, when permanent damage has already happened.   
>   
> “This is why we’re supporting this campaign to help people control their condition and make sure people living with diabetes in Wales are going to their regular eye screening appointments as well as their usual eye tests. Experts can then identify any problems and get them treated as soon as possible. Making sure you are getting the treatment you need could be the difference between a person with diabetes losing their sight or saving it.”
