November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month, and today we're raising awareness about Diabetic Macular Edema- a serious condition affecting those with diabetes.
Diabetic Macular Edema occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to fluid buildup in the macula, the part of the eye responsible for sharp central vision. This can result in blurry vision, difficulty reading, and even vision loss if left untreated.
Diabetic eye conditions, like macular edema, can develop without any early symptoms. That's why regular eye exams are crucial for detection and treatment. If you or a loved one has diabetes, make sure to schedule an annual eye exam to protect your vision!
