<p>Diabetic eye disease, a leading cause of blindness, often has no early warning signs. That’s why it’s so important for people with diabetes to get regular eye exams to catch problems early — and get timely treatment and the right follow-up care.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>During National Diabetes Month, join the National Eye Health Education Program (NEHEP) in spreading the word about how people with diabetes can protect their vision! Use our educational resources to make sure everyone with diabetes has the facts about diabetic eye disease.</p>
