Diabetic Eye Disease Education
Just in time for Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness month, the Academy is launching EyeSmart EyeCommitted, a new initiative encouraging people with diabetes to commit to an annual dilated eye exam.

Order the FREE EyeSmart diabetic eye disease poster to educate your patients about diabetic eye disease and the basic step needed to protect their sight against this disease. And if your practice has a Web site, there are several other electronic resources you can use, including the EyeCommitted widget, where people pledge to get the exam.

The diabetic eye disease poster is also part of the free EyeSmart eye disease kit, which also includes other posters, info cards (shown below) and a tabletop stand to hold them.

Help Prevent Eye Injuries
The Academy also offers a kit on eye injuries, featuring:

• One pack of 250 eye-injury info cards (shown below)
  
• Poster about the importance of wearing protective eyewear during sight-threatening activities (shown below)
• A tabletop stand to hold the info cards
  

Sign up today to get these free materials, which encourage patients to visit GetEyeSmart.org to learn more about eye injury risks and the EyeSmart recommendation for protective eyewear around the home.
