Eye screening for diabetic patients
As part of International Diabetes Day on Tuesday 14th November 2023, Swiss Visio would like to raise awareness among diabetic patients of the importance of ophthalmic management.
People with diabetes face a chronic disease that can affect many organs, including the blood vessels, kidneys, nerves and eyes, with the primary challenge being controlling blood sugar levels. These patients are two to five times more likely to develop eye diseases (cataracts, glaucoma, etc.).
The most serious eye problem is diabetic retinopathy. If left untreated, it can lead to a non-reversible reduction in vision, or even blindness. Diabetic retinopathy can be serious even if there is no loss of vision. The earlier it is treated, the greater the chances of limiting visual damage.
When you have diabetes, you need to be alert to any changes in your vision, and regular screening is essential.
That's why we're offering free screening tests in various centres from 13th to 17th November.
