Did you know taking care of your eyes is an important part of living well with diabetes?

Having high blood glucose levels can damage the small blood vessels in the back of the eye leading to vision problems, and if untreated, blindness. The Canadian Diabetes Association recommends yearly retinopathy screening for those living with diabetes for early detection of any problems.

Our retinopathy screening program works in partnership with an ophthalmologist to assess for any eye damage. Want more information? http://www.diabetes.ca/documents/about-diabetes/Fact_Sheet_ENG_3_FINAL.pdf
