DIABETES AND EYE HEALTH: WHAT YOUR EMPLOYEES NEED TO KNOW
November is American Diabetes Month, and a great time to remind your employees of the importance of regular eye exams. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults, but early detection and treatment can help prevent serious vision problems. (*Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
VSP® network doctors are committed to providing your employees with the care they need for diabetes-related eye disease. Even if your employees have no symptoms, they should still get a WellVision Exam® every year.
We know that healthy employees are more productive and engaged. That's why we're encouraging you to team up with us to protect your employees' eye health and give them a brighter future.
KNOW YOUR DIABETES RISK
Did you know there is a connection between diabetes and 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. Could your employees be at risk for diabetes?

WHAT DO VSP VISION CARE BENEFITS COVER IF I HAVE DIABETES?
If your employees have or are at risk for diabetes, encourage them to see their eye doctor regularly to prevent diabetic eye diseases and vision loss. Your VSP® vision care coverage may cover a retinal screening. This type of exam uses digital imaging to look inside eyes and check for diabetes-related eye disease. Retinal images also help eye doctors track changes in eye health over time.
