Eye Examination SF WSD is a great day for awareness raising and informing potential customers and donors of the causes of avoidable blindness and means of eradicating them. India is second to China in terms of number of persons suffering with Diabetes. Almost 21% of patients suffering with type 2 Diabetes will develop diabetic retinopathy, while everyone suffering with Diabetes at some point in their life will develop some symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy.

This year SightFirst MD322 puts forth its focus on diabetic retinopathy, and it all begins with
an eye exam. This year, for the week leading up to SF WSD organise a chain – ask every
patient who walks in for an eye exam to bring in two more patients with diabetes for a Free
Diabetic Retinopathy Eye Screening. Inform them of the need to get one’s eyes tested.
