Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals, a pioneer in eye care for over 20 years, who believes in providing eye care of international standards to all, raises awareness on diabetic retinopathy and other eye conditions caused by diabetes by releasing an informative video on World Diabetes Day.

The video features Shishir Sharma and emphasizes early detection and prevention of diabetes-related eye ailments, the risks associated with them, and the steps diabetic patients can take to protect their eyesight and urging to prioritize eye health and screenings for timely diagnosis and treatment.

On the World Diabetes Day occasion, Ms. Deepshikha Sharma, CEO, Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals, said, “Prevention truly is the best course of action when it comes to eye care, especially for diabetic patients. On the eve of World Diabetes Day, Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals is proud to lead the charge in collaboration with Shishir Sharma in raising awareness about diabetes-related eye ailments like diabetic retinopathy.

With our cutting-edge technology, aiming precise and timely diagnoses, empowering patients to take control of their eye health. By leveraging the latest advancements in retinal imaging and AI-assisted diagnostics, Sharp Sight is committed to curbing the rise of preventable vision loss, ensuring that everyone has access to the best possible care for healthier, brighter futures” Deepshikha added.

Diabetic retinopathy is a silent threat, often progressing without any noticeable symptoms until it’s too late. Nearly 1 in 3 people with diabetes develop some form of diabetic retinopathy, a condition that can lead to permanent blindness if left untreated. World Health Organization (WHO) reports that diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness in working-age adults worldwide, with millions of cases going undiagnosed due to lack of awareness and routine eye care.

Shishir Sharma, Brand Ambassador for Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals said “On this World Diabetes Day, it’s crucial to remind every diabetic patient that maintaining eye health is just as important as managing blood sugar levels. Diabetic retinopathy and other diabetes-related eye conditions are silent threats to vision, often developing without obvious symptoms. The key to preserving eyesight is regular eye check-ups – early diagnosis can prevent irreversible damage. Remember, prevention is always better than cure. By making timely eye exams a priority, we can ensure healthier eyes and better quality of life for all diabetic patients. Let’s commit to regular screenings, because when it comes to eye health, early intervention is the best protection.”

Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals underscores that regular eye check-ups are critical, especially for individuals with diabetes. A timely diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy or other eye diseases can significantly reduce the risk of vision loss. As the old adage goes, “prevention is better than cure,” and this holds especially true in the case of diabetic eye care. By committing to regular eye exams, diabetic patients can stay ahead of potential problems and maintain optimal vision for years to come.
