👁️ November is Diabetic Eye Disease Month

Did you know?
➡️ Diabetes is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness.
➡️ Many eye changes happen without symptoms.
➡️ An annual comprehensive eye exam can detect problems years before vision is affected.

Common diabetic eye diseases include:
• 🩸 Diabetic Retinopathy – damage to blood vessels in the retina
• 👁️ Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) – swelling that impacts sharp vision
• 🌫️ Cataracts – develop earlier and faster in people with diabetes
• 👀 Glaucoma – increased risk due to pressure and nerve changes

Protect your vision:
✓ Keep blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol in target range
✓ Don’t skip your annual comprehensive eye exam
✓ Call your eye care provider if you notice blurred vision, floaters, or dark spots

Your eyes work hard for you every day — give them the care they deserve. 💙

Call us today about scheduling your yearly eye exam!
