Multi-Year Initiative Provides Education and Resources to Optometrists on the Front Lines of Diabetes Detection and Care

ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Diabetes is the leading cause of vision loss for Americans under the age of 74, according to the American Optometric Association, and optometrists perform the majority of comprehensive, dilated eye examinations for people with diabetes in the United States and are well versed in the treatment and management of diabetic eye disease. Because ODs are on the front lines of this disease that afflicts 27 million people in the U.S. (plus the 79 million more with pre-diabetes), medical technology company, Optos, sponsored a formal multi-year diabetes initiative focused on providing clinical education and resources to AOA members. -   See more
