Diabetes is one of the leading causes of eye disease in the United States. During Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month it is vital to inform the public about diabetes and vision loss, as well as the risk factors and treatment options. For more information on diabetic eye diseases, you can look at the “Diabetes and the Eyes” educational toolkit from Prevent Blindness. The toolkit includes fact sheets and infographics for you to share on social media.

SDCB offers many innovative visual rehabilitation programs; please contact us to learn more.
