Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working-age Americans

Diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in America today affecting over 20 million adults and children.

Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy include blurred vision and gradual vision loss.

Diabetic retinopathy is a major complication of diabetes, causing 12,000 to 24,000 new cases of blindness each year.

These daunting statistics are even more troubling when considering it is possible to have diabetic retinopathy and not know it.
