Eye Exam
Event Description: 
Some studies have estimated that more than 40% of people with diabetes will develop some form of eye disease in their lifetime. Diabetes requires proactive eye care, as it can lead to conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, and glaucoma, among others. Join us, during National Diabetes Awareness Month, to explore the connection between diabetes and eye health. This session will highlight the importance of early detection and regular eye exams, as well as lifestyle management to help protect vision.
