If you have diabetes, get an annual dilated eye exam.
Diabetic retinopathy can cause severe vision loss. And people with the disease may not even know they have it. That's why medical experts recommend that everyone with diabetes have a dilated eye examination at least once a year. The exam helps eye care professionals detect the disease and offer treatment before vision is lost.
We invite you to join us in celebrating May as Healthy Vision Month and to learn more about diabetic retinopathy.
