The human eye is an amazing sensory organ and our vision is one of the most precious gifts we have. Vision allows us to be
aware of our surroundings and 80% of everything we learn is through our sight. Many of us underestimate the importance of
our eyes until we experience a problem with them. Carolien developed this webinar for Diabetes NSW & ACT and for
Diabetes Queensland.

In this webinar she will explore how eyes work, what type of problems you can get, their causes and how to recognize them.
She will explain what Diabetic Retinopathy is, look at its different stages and the risk factors for developing eye problems
for a person with diabetes. And, most importantly, she will talk about things you can do to maintain good eye health and
prevent problems.
