Did you know that sickle cell disease (SCD) can cause vision loss?
It’s important to get regular eye exams – especially if you have SCD. Many people who suddenly get vision loss from sickle cell don’t have any early warning before vision loss happens. Eye doctors can catch problems like vision loss due to SCD early, so you can keep your vision healthy now and in the future.
