Cum poate diabetul să afecteze vederea, deși la început nu dă niciun fel de simptome

The national campaign "Without Diabetes" by Caravana cu Medici aims to assess the health of individuals affected by diabetes across Romania. Volunteers have identified many patients unaware of their eye health issues, particularly diabetic retinopathy, which often shows no symptoms initially. Common problems include cataracts and corneal injuries due to lack of protective eyewear. Many rural patients struggle to afford eye consultations, highlighting the need for better access to healthcare. The Bucharest team has evaluated over 3,000 individuals but seeks more funding to expand their reach. An ambitious goal is to convert a truck into mobile medical offices to enhance service delivery.
