Ваш посібник зі скринінгу очей за наявності діабетуv
Скринінг очей за наявності діабету важливий, оскільки він допомагає запобігти втраті зору. Оскільки ви хворієте на діабет, існує ризик ураження ваших очей унаслідок діабетичної ретинопатії. Скринінг здатний виявити це захворювання на ранніх стадіях, перш ніж ви помітите будь-які зміни зору.
