The Connection Between Diabetes and Your Vision
Did you know there is a connection between diabetes and eye health?
More than 40 million American adults are living with diabetes, and many do not know they have it. Another 115 million U.S. adults, which is more than one in three, have prediabetes, and most are unaware of their condition. This lack of awareness increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Preventing the onset of diabetes is one way to protect your eye health. Anyone with diabetes is at risk for diabetes-related eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and macular edema, as well as glaucoma and cataracts.
There are two things you can do today to see if you may be at risk for diabetes.
- Schedule an eye appointment. Many people think they don’t need to visit the eye doctor unless they have poor vision or an eye condition. But that’s not necessarily true. A comprehensive eye exam can detect signs of more than 270* health conditions, including diabetes.
- Find out if you’re at risk by completing the American Diabetes Association 60-Second Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test.
