November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, approximately 29 million Americans have diabetes and almost one third are at risk of vision loss because they do not know they have the disease. 

During November's Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness, the AAO and Schepens want to remind those with diabetic eye disease to:

• protect their vision by having a dilated eye exam every year

• get yearly dilated eye exams, which are crucial for protecting vision in people with diabetes.

• keep your blood sugar under control, this decreases your risks of many complications associated with diabetes, including eye disease.
