Did you know diabetes is the leading cause of preventable blindness in adults aged 20 to 74?

Missing regular eye exams can put your vision at serious risk—especially if you have diabetes. Around one in three Americans with diabetes already show signs of diabetic retinopathy, often without early warning signs. Once vision loss begins, it’s usually irreversible.

This short video from the Eye Centers of Northwest Ohio (just 50 seconds!) highlights why yearly dilated eye exams are critical for early detection and prevention. Sadly, less than two-thirds of people with diabetes undergo these essential checkups—and rates are even lower among young people.

Let’s spread the word this Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month!

👀 Planning your Halloween look? Don’t risk your sight for style! 🎃

Check out our Halloween Contact Lens Safety video - https://youtu.be/N2FJoMDpdp0

Before using costume contact lenses, make sure they’re prescribed and fitted by an eye care professional. Non-prescription lenses can cause serious eye injuries or infections—some can even cause vision loss. Only buy FDA-approved lenses from legit retailers, never share contacts, practice good hygiene, and don’t sleep in them!

If you notice redness, pain, or swelling, see a doctor immediately. Protect your vision and have a safe, spooky Halloween! 👁️🦇
