November is Diabetes Awareness Month 💙❤️

After years of battling high A1C levels, Karen thought she had finally regained control of her health—until a routine eye exam revealed that diabetes had severely damaged her vision. What began as fear turned into faith and trust when she met Dr. Reichstein and the team at Tennessee Retina.

“I’ve battled diabetes for years, and while my heart and kidneys were spared, my eyes weren’t. Nothing is scarier than thinking you may go blind, but all paths led me to Dr. Reichstein and Tennessee Retina. He truly cares and went above and beyond to get my eyes where they needed to be. There’s no telling where my vision would be without them.”

Karen’s story is a powerful reminder that diabetes can silently affect your eyes, even when everything else feels fine. Regular dilated eye exams are essential for protecting your vision.

We’re so thankful to Karen for allowing us to share her journey—her courage and openness are helping raise awareness and inspire others to take control of their eye health. 👁️

Our 3 featured images in October were captured by Rebekah Greenberg and Steve Graves! 🏆📷

👁️ Image #1 is a photo of a Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion. This image was captured on our Clarus 700 camera by Rebekah Greenberg. A branch retinal vein occlusion occurs when there is a blockage in the vein that carries blood away from the retina. The lack of oxygen delivered to the retina may result in severe loss of vision. Retina artery occlusion is usually associated with sudden painless loss of vision.

👁️ Image #2 is an image of a Retinal Macroaneurysm captured by Steve Graves. He captured this image using our Clarus and OCT machines. Macroaneurysm occurs when the dilation of a retinal artery leads to hemorrhage or swelling and may cause loss of vision. A patient with high blood pressure can be at a higher risk of having a retinal macroaneurysm.

👁️ Image #3 is a photo of Emulsified Silicone Oil that was taken on our Slit Lamp camera by Rebekah Greenberg. Silicone Oil is sometimes used to treat retinal conditions such as complex retinal detachments. On occasion, the silicone oil can emulsify due to various conditions or longevity in the eye.

Dr. Akshay Thomas contributed to a new multi-center study, “Evaluating the Effectiveness of Escalating to Weekly Adalimumab Dosing for the Treatment of Non-infectious Uveitis”.

The research examined whether increasing adalimumab (Humira) dosing can help patients with non-infectious uveitis who are not fully controlled on standard treatment.

🔍 Key Findings:
- Over 50% of patients achieved treatment success after switching to weekly dosing
- Significant improvement was seen in inflammatory signs
- Many patients were able to safely reduce steroid use
- Patients with posterior uveitis showed particularly favorable outcomes

This work adds valuable real-world evidence to support treatment decisions for patients living with non-infectious uveitis—helping preserve vision and quality of life.

Diabetes Can Steal Your Vision Silently! ⚠️ Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) can worsen a diabetic patient’s vision very quickly, making it hard to perform easy tasks like watching TV and driving.

PDR is a more progressed stage of Diabetic Retinopathy. Under long‑term high blood sugar, tiny blood vessels in the retina become damaged and blocked. In response, the retina triggers growth of new, abnormal blood vessels. These vessels are fragile, prone to bleeding, and may lead to significant vision loss.

Why does it matter? Because those new vessels don’t behave like normal retinal vessels. They can leak blood into the vitreous (causing floaters or vision blur), form scar tissue, and even pull the retina off its back surface (tractional retinal detachment).

💙Regular eye screening is crucial for those with diabetes, since PDR can be asymptomatic in its early stages, meaning you may not notice any changes in your vision until it’s too late.
