👁 November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month, and here’s what you should know:
Diabetes can quietly damage the small blood vessels in the back of your eye, a condition called diabetic retinopathy.

It often starts without symptoms, meaning you might not notice vision changes until the disease has already progressed.

The good news is that early detection and regular eye exams can prevent most vision loss caused by diabetes.

If you or someone you love manages diabetes, make eye care part of your routine!

It’s that time again, don’t forget to “fall back” this Sunday! ⏰

Set your clocks back one hour and enjoy a little extra sleep. 😴

Shorter days mean more night driving, so make sure your glasses and headlights are ready for the season ahead! 👓🌙

👁 Your eyes age, too, here’s how to protect them at every stage of life.

Just like the rest of your body, your eyes change as you grow.

Here’s what to keep in mind at every age:
👶 Kids: Regular checkups help catch vision problems early (even before school starts).
👧 Teens: Encourage healthy screen habits and UV protection — they’ll thank you later!
👩‍🦰 20s–30s: Keep up with yearly exams, manage screen time, and don’t skip sunglasses.

A few small habits now can protect your sight for decades to come.

➡️ Save this for future you, and remind your family to keep up with their exams, too.
