Diabetic Eye Treatment Diabetes is a major cause of blindness in the United States! Diabetic retinopathy accounts for at least 12% of new cases of blindness each year in the United States. People with diabetes are 25 times more at risk for blindness than the general public. Over a lifetime, 70% of people with insulin-dependent diabetes will develop serious diabetic retinopathy, and 40% will develop macular edema. Both complications, if untreated, often lead to serious vision loss. Early
detection and treatment is crucial to reducing the risk of blindness
from diabetes! Almost all insurance plans
cover diabetic retinopathy treatment! |
