People living with diabetes encounter numerous health challenges, with one of the most concerning being the risk of vision loss due to retinal damage. This condition can develop silently, often before any noticeable symptoms arise, posing a serious threat to the eyes.
“Diabetes can silently damage a person’s most precious sense, their sight, before symptoms even appear,” explained Dr. J. Michael Jumper, president of the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS). “That’s why it’s essential for everyone with diabetes to prioritize their eye health by undergoing regular dilated eye exams.”
The importance of these exams cannot be overstated, as early detection of retinal damage is crucial in preventing irreversible vision loss.
