Hello everyone,
How are you today? 
You may have heard that people with diabetes are at a heightened risk for eye complications, such as cataracts, glaucoma and retinopathy. Fortunately, with regular checkups, you can keep an eye on your eye health, prevent progression of any eye conditions, and start treatment if needed.
Have you encountered any eye issues related to your diabets? How have you treated them? How often do you see your eye doctor?
