The number of people living with diabetes is expected to rise to 578 million by 2030. Approximately 1 in 3 people with diabetes have some degree of Diabetic Retinopathy and 1 in 10 are at risk of developing sight threatening complications due to the disease.
From November 12-19, take part in our Focus on Diabetes programme that aims to raise the profile and agenda of Diabetic Eye Disease. Our theme for the Focus on Diabetes programme is, “Access to Care”. We will be offering a global webinar in addition to three regional webinars, and expert opinions all through the week.
