Happy Monday! ☺️ This month we focus on DIABETIC EYE DISEASE AWARENESS as managing diabetes is key to preserving your vision.
Should you experience the below symptoms book an eye examination with your Optometrist so that they can provide a thorough assessment.
Look out for:
· Floaters and dark spots, such as the sudden appearance of many new spots, dark strings, or cobweb-like shapes floating in your vision.
· Blurry or wavy vision that come and go frequently.
· Dark or empty areas such as patches where you cannot see anything, or a shadow that looks like a curtain over your vision.
· If you are noticing colours that appear washed out or less vibrant than usual.
· Having poor night vision where you are having difficulty seeing well in dim light.
· Seeing repeated flashes of light in your peripheral vision.· Eye pain or unusual pressure in one or both eyes.
Always remember that proactive management of your overall health is the best way to prevent or slow the progression of diabetic eye disease 💙
