Diabetes and How It Affects Eye Health
Did you know that men are less likely to attend preventative eye care appointments than women are?
As June is Men's Health Awareness Month, at Oxford Family Vision Care, we believe that it is important to shed light on the concerning statistics regarding men’s eye health.
According to a study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), men who have diabetes are 50% less likely than women to have had an eye exam in the past year. This is concerning since both men and women who have diabetes are at risk for developing serious eye conditions.
