Product: American Diabetes Association and Eye Health Webinar on “Coping with Limited Vision”
Top Line: American Diabetes Association and Eye Health Experts will host a virtual Q&A on Feb. 23 to address the topic of “Coping with Limited Vision,” timed to occur during Low Vision Awareness Month. The event will take place on Feb. 23 from 2:00 p.m. ET to 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. PT to 12:00 p.m. PT). This Ask the Experts Q&A event is part of the American Diabetes Association Focus on Diabetes initiative with support from its Visionary Partners, VSP Vision Care and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
Close Up: Given that diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in working age adults, the Q&A gives anyone the opportunity to ask experts questions and learn practical tools that will help people with diabetes and low vision maximize their ability to read and function in tasks of daily living. Listeners get the chance to hear firsthand from Dr. Richard Shuldiner, a low vision optometrist and president of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists, on how to cope with low vision due to diabetes.
