Diabetes Australia

The Vision Initiative works in partnership with Diabetes Australia Victoria (DAV) to provide up to date eye health information to people with diabetes.

Information is also developed for health professionals who want to learn more about diabetes and eye health.

Diabetes Australia is a national federated body comprised of state and territory organisations supporting people with diabetes and those professional and research bodies particularly concerned with the treatment and prevention of diabetes.

People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing eye problems, which if left untreated can lead to vision loss and blindness. The good news is that 98 per cent of vision loss associated with diabetes can be prevented or treated if detected early enough. The earlier the treatment, the better the result, which is why regular eye examinations are so important.
