01

The Eye Institute

For people with diabetes, skipping an eye exam can lead to preventable vision loss. Diabetic eye disease often develops without symptoms, making yearly dilated exams essential for early detection and treatment. This November, during Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month, prioritize your vision and schedule your annual eye exam.

02

Beyond Type 1

Diabetes can affect your eyes over time, but with regular care, you can protect your vision and prevent serious complications. Annual eye exams are essential for everyone with diabetes—no matter your blood sugar levels or A1c—to detect problems early, such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, or glaucoma. Keep your eyes healthy by maintaining stable blood sugar, scheduling yearly eye exams, and partnering with your care team to address any changes in your vision right away.

Decorative contact lenses can make your Halloween costume stand out, but wearing lenses without a prescription from an eye doctor can cause serious eye problems like infection, corneal scarring, or vision loss. Always get your lenses properly fitted and purchased through a licensed eye care professional to keep your eyes healthy and your vision clear.
