What can you do to protect your vision?

Finding and treating the disease early, before it causes vision loss or blindness, is the best way to control diabetic eye disease.

So, if you have diabetes, make sure you get a dilated eye examination at least once a year. If you do not have an eye doctor, ask your primary care doctor for a referral.

If you have questions about diabetes, call the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Information & Action Line at 1-800-DIABETES.
