👁️💙 November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month 💙👁️

This month, Yale Ophthalmology proudly highlights the groundbreaking work of Dr. Kristen Nwanyanwu and her SEEN Lab (Sight-Saving Engagement and Evaluation in New Haven) — a research initiative dedicated to advancing health equity and preventing vision loss from diabetic retinopathy.

Through community partnerships, data-driven innovation, and a focus on the social determinants of health, Dr. Nwanyanwu and her team are transforming how diabetic eye care is delivered — ensuring that everyone, regardless of background, has access to the sight-saving care they deserve.

If you or a loved one lives with diabetes, remember to:
🗓️ Schedule your annual dilated eye exam
💉 Manage your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol
👩‍⚕️ Talk to your eye care provider about any changes in your vision

Together, we can protect sight and promote equitable eye health for all.

👁️💙 August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month!

Healthy vision plays a critical role in a child’s development, learning, and overall well-being. At Yale Ophthalmology, we are committed to protecting children’s sight through early detection, prevention, and education.

Here are a few important reminders for parents and caregivers:
🔹 Schedule regular eye exams – many vision problems can be detected early and treated effectively.
🔹 Protect eyes during play and sports – make sure children use protective eyewear when needed.
🔹 Encourage screen-time breaks – give young eyes time to rest and reduce digital eye strain.
🔹 Promote healthy habits – a balanced diet, outdoor play, and good sleep all support eye health.

Together, we can ensure brighter futures by safeguarding children’s vision today. 💡👓
