November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month.

People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing serious eye conditions—including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts.

This month and every month, we encourage those living with diabetes to take proactive steps to protect their vision. A comprehensive dilated eye exam is one of the best ways to catch problems early and preserve sight. 👁️💙
