All Eyes on DME: Eye Health Resource Library
FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
Let’s put All Eyes on DME
All Eyes on DME is a new campaign launched by diaTribe and Genentech to empower and educate people about diabetes-related eye complications like diabetes-related retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME).
Issues around access, education, and screening for eye health in people with diabetes can make finding support difficult, particularly in minority communities, where the rates of DME are up to three times higher.
To help address these barriers, diaTribe and Genentech partnered to launch All Eyes on DME to spread awareness and educate people at-risk for or living with diabetes-related eye conditions like DME. Whether you’re a person with diabetes learning about DME for the first time, a caregiver or loved one seeking more ways to support, or a healthcare professional, All Eyes on DME and dStigmatize have resources that can help.

Conversations about eye health and vision loss can be scary and overwhelming, which can lead people to avoid the conversation or their diabetes management altogether.
