Monday 14 November was World Diabetes Day.
Almost 1.5 million Australians have been diagnosed with diabetes and all Australians with diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy.
Specsavers is proud to unite with Diabetes Australia in the fight against preventable diabetes-related blindness through KeepSight, Australia’s diabetes eye screening reminder program.
Specsavers optometrists have already registered more than 500,000 appointments with the program, meaning that more than 270,000 people with diabetes are registered to receive reminders when their diabetes eye checks are due.
Specsavers is committed to uniting and partnering with foundations such as KeepSight to ensure a coordinated approach to early detection and intervention.
