Diabetes and Your Vision: A Conversation with the National Eye Institute
Manage episode 347423050 series 2796997
People with diabetes are at risk for developing diabetic eye disease, which can result in vision loss and blindness. And people with early stages of diabetic eye disease may experience few if any symptoms. But losing sight from diabetes is far from a foregone conclusion, especially with regular dilated eye exams, early diagnosis, and treatment advances made possible by retina specialists.
On this episode, Dr. Timothy Murray discusses the importance of diabetic eye disease awareness with two special guests: Dr. Emily Chew, the deputy clinical director at the National Eye Institute (NEI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Dr. Judy Kim, president of the American Society of Retina Specialists, and National Eye Health Education Program (NEHEP) Planning Group member.
