Kristi Key+FollowEye Drops Reveal Diabetes Secrets?Turns out, your eye’s vitreous humor (yep, that jelly stuff) could hold the key to tracking diabetic retinopathy! Researchers found that certain metabolites like lysine, proline, and carnitine spike as the disease gets worse. This could mean earlier, more personalized treatments are on the horizon. Imagine catching eye disease before it does damage—just by checking your eye’s chemistry! Future studies might even use tears or blood for early detection. Science is wild! #DiabeticRetinopathy #EyeHealth #MedicalResearch #Health192Share

Aaron Rodriguez+FollowDiabetes & Vision: Surprising New LinkTurns out, low blood sugar isn’t just about feeling shaky—researchers just found it can actually damage your eyes if you have diabetes!

An experimental drug blocked this process in diabetic mice. This could be a game-changer for treating diabetic retinopathy. Who knew blood sugar swings could hit your eyesight this hard? #DiabetesAwareness #EyeHealth #MedicalResearch #DiabeticRetinopathy #ScienceNews #Health183Share
Rebecca Cowan+FollowWhy Kids Are Gold for Eye DocsEver wonder why optometrists love seeing kids? Turns out, pediatric patients stick around for years, turning into loyal adult clients. Plus, kids need special services like myopia management and vision therapy, which are pricier and often paid out-of-pocket. And since active kids go through lots of daily contacts (hello, higher profit margins!), it’s a win-win. Even anti-fatigue lenses are trending for younger eyes. Basically, focusing on kids = major growth for eye clinics! #Optometry #Pediatrics #EyeHealth #PracticeGrowth #HealthcareBusiness #Health40Share
