DIABETES-WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW  

 

Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in working age Americans.  Diabetes causes damage to small blood vessels in the retina.   They leak fluid or blood and cause distortion of vision.  This is called diabetic retinopathy.  It can be effectively treated by an ophthalmologist. 

 

  • The American Diabetes Association recommends a yearly eye exam. 
  • Diabetes blinds 25,000 Americans every year. 
  • Blindness from diabetic retinopathy can be prevented. 
  • Failure to treat diabetic retinopathy can cause irreversible blindness. 
  • The risk of blindness can be reduced by 90% with treatment. 
  • Early treatment is essential to prevent blindness. 
  • Treatment is usually a painless office procedure. 
  • Glaucoma and cataract are more common in patients with diabetes. 
  • Managed care plans encourage yearly eye exams for diabetics. 
  • Eye exams by a medical eye doctor (ophthalmologist) are essential.
