As Diabetes Awareness Month wraps up, this is your reminder that vision loss from diabetes is not inevitable. Many people don’t notice early changes because diabetic eye disease often starts quietly with no pain and no warning. 💙

👁️ A yearly eye exam can catch problems early and protect your sight long term.

Take care of your eyes and book an appointment with an optometrist near you. You can find one at the link in our bio.

The Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO) is working with governments to update optometrists’ scope of practice so patients can access safe, evidence-based eye care sooner. Provinces like Alberta and Ontario are reviewing additions such as YAG capsulotomy, SLT for glaucoma, and benign eyelid lesion removal, procedures already taught in optometry programs and performed safely in the U.S. and U.K.

“As the front line of vision health and eye care, optometrists are highly trained, regulated professionals who already provide comprehensive diagnosis and management of ocular disease,” - Dr. Allison Scott, President of CAO.

With long specialist wait times and gaps in rural and northern communities, allowing optometrists to provide these routine in-office procedures will reduce delays while keeping ophthalmologists focused on complex surgeries that require their expertise. Optometrists’ training and safety record strongly support this update.
