November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and National Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month, a time dedicated to reminding individuals living with diabetes just how important regular eye exams are. At Community Health Connections our Optometrists are here for you!
Diabetes can affect many parts of the body, but its impact on the eyes is often overlooked. Over time high blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina leading to conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts.
If you’re living with diabetes, consistent comprehensive eye exams are essential.
The best gift you can give yourself this month is a commitment to protecting your sight. Schedule your yearly eye exam, even if your vision feels fine. Early detection is the key to preserving healthy vision and preventing long term complications.
Your eyes matter and CHC Eye Care & Optometry is here to take great care of you!
