Pottstown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2017 -- Community Health & Dental Care, the premier family health center serving Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, is doing their part by participating in Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month. Aside from Movember and No-shave November, the month of November is also Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, diabetic eye disease affects over five million Americans ages 18 and older. Even worse, approximately 29 million Americans ages 20 and older have diabetes, but an estimated one-third are not aware they have the disease. This puts millions of American at risk for vision loss and other health issues.
Early symptoms can be extremely difficult to detect. However, a routine eye exam can help spot signs of the disease and will allow doctors to treat the disease before severe eyesight loss occurs. Anyone who experiences blurred vision in just one eye that lasts more than a few days and is not associated with a mild change in blood sugar should contact Community Health & Dental immediately.
