Today, November 14th, 2024, we join the global community to observe World Diabetes Day!

As eye care professionals, we know that diabetes can have a devastating impact on vision. Diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, especially in working-age adults.

Did you know?

- 1 in 5 people with diabetes will develop diabetic retinopathy
- Early detection and treatment can reduce vision loss by up to 90%
- Regular eye exams are crucial for identifying diabetic retinopathy in its early stages

At the Vitreoretinal Society of Nigeria, we're committed to raising awareness about the importance of early detection and treatment of diabetic eye disease.

Take control of your eye health:

- Get regular eye exams
- Manage your blood sugar levels
- Know your risk factors (family history, hypertension, obesity)
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle (balanced diet, exercise)

Let's work together to protect vision and promote a healthier future!
