Prevalence of Sight Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy Considerable

According to an article published Family Practice News, published by International Medical New Group on September 1, 2010, the rate of diabetic retinopathy may be 29% in adult diabetics pointing to a high prevalence of vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy in the United States.  "We are working very hard to help diabetic patients preserve their eye health and vision", said Francis A. D'Ambrosio, Jr., M.D.  "In order for us to be effective in providing advanced diagnostic testing and care for diabetic retinopathy, we need patients to help by maintaining good dietary control and their overall health." 

D'Ambrosio Eye Care provided Boston diabetic patients with complete diagnosis, treatment and management of diabetic eye problems.

Sahana Vyas, M.D. to speak at Concord, MA Council on Aging

Sahana Vyas, M.D.

On Thursday, Dr. Sahana Vyas, Retina Specialist at D'Ambrosio Eye Care will speak, Thursday, February 17, at the Concord MA Council on Aging "Lunch & Learn" on  "Why Do I Need A Dilated Eye Exam?"  This is a great topic and I'm sure the attendees will learn quite a bit on this subject from her.

This is a great segue to the vision screening we'll be holding there the following week!  While we won't be dilating eyes, it will explain to folks why it's so important.

The speaking series and vision screenings are one way for us to give a little TLC to the communities we service!
