🧡 November is National Diabetes Awareness Month! Did you know that your eyes can reveal 🧐 more about your health than you might expect? An annual eye exam isn't just about clear vision; it's a chance for early detection of health issues like diabetes.

Prioritize those peepers 🤓, and protect your vision for all the years to come by scheduling your next exam today.

If you have a previous medical diagnosis you can be seen by an ophthalmologist. If you need to get glasses or have a baseline eye exam, you can schedule with an optometrist. 🥸

November is Diabetes related Eye Disease Month. If you haven't had a dilated eye exam in the last year, please call your local Ophthalmologist to schedule.
