👁️ November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month

At Aboite Family Eyecare Center, we want to help our community understand the difference between Non-Proliferative and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy—two stages of diabetic eye disease that can affect vision.

🔹 Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR)
• Early stage of the disease
• Often no symptoms
• Caused by weakened retinal blood vessels that leak fluid or blood
• Can lead to macular edema, which affects central vision
• Detectable during a dilated eye exam, even when vision seems normal

🔹 Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR)
• More advanced and serious stage
• The retina begins to grow new, fragile blood vessels
• These vessels can bleed, cause scar tissue, and lead to retinal detachment
• Without treatment, PDR can cause severe vision loss

✨ The good news: With early detection and proper diabetic management, much of this vision loss is preventable.

If you have diabetes, a yearly dilated eye exam is essential.
Schedule your diabetic eye care appointment with Aboite Family Eyecare Center today. 🩵

👁️ November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month!
Did you know:

🔹 Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss in adults aged 20–74.
🔹 Early stages often have no symptoms—vision can seem perfectly normal.
🔹 Yearly dilated eye exams can detect changes long before vision is affected.
🔹 Keeping blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol under control can significantly lower your risk.

At Aboite Family Eyecare Center, we’re committed to protecting your sight.
If you have diabetes, now is the perfect time to schedule your comprehensive eye exam. 🩵

🎃👀 Spooky Eyes Are Cool… Eye Infections? Not So Much! 👀🎃

We love a good Halloween transformation — vampires, zombies, cats, aliens 👁️😼🧛‍♂️ — but if your look includes costume contact lenses, make sure they’re safe for your eyes!

Buying lenses from a costume shop or online without a prescription can turn your spooky night into a real fright 👻 (think: red, painful, blurry eyes 😬).

💡 Pro tip from Aboite Family Eyecare Center:
Always get your contacts properly fitted and prescribed by an eye doctor — even if they’re just for fun!

So go ahead and rock those cat eyes or glowing ghouls — safely! 👁️✨
Your eyes will thank you. 💜

Fall is beautiful—but for many, it also brings itchy, watery, and red eyes. At Aboite Family Eyecare Center, we can help you manage seasonal allergy symptoms so you can enjoy the season comfortably.

Tips to protect your eyes this fall:
🌾 Limit exposure to pollen by keeping windows closed
👓 Wear sunglasses outdoors to block allergens
💧 Use OTC allergy drop and preservative-free artificial tears to soothe irritation
🚫 Avoid rubbing your eyes—it can make symptoms worse

Don’t let allergies cloud your vision—schedule an eye checkup today! 👀
