Acuity Eye Group & Retina Institute of California

Not every disability is visible. That’s the theme of this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities, where we bring awareness to the unique experiences faced by those with disabilities. While not always obvious to the public, disabilities can have a significant impact on how one experiences the world. Visual impairments remain among the most common forms of disability. Many times, the person may not be wearing glasses or using a white mobility cane as often time...s, the individual retains *some* sight. However, those impacted may be hesitant to disclose the limitations brought on by vision-impairing diseases such as glaucoma, or the neurological impact of a stroke. Every person with a disability has a unique story to tell. #IDPD encourages us to refrain from judgement and listen to those experiences as we work towards building a more inclusive and accessible society. #acuityeyegroup

With the uncertainty and disruption brought on by the #COVID19 pandemic, it’s understandable that many individuals have put off routine health or vision care. Unfortunately, this can have unintended consequences for patients, as chronic conditions could worsen and new conditions may go undetected early on, when diseases are most easily treated. At Acuity Eye Group, we understand the seriousness of COVID-19, which is why we’ve instituted a number of precautions to ensure we can continue to care for you safely, such as conducting temperature checks, requiring masks, and enforcing social distancing in our waiting rooms. #acuityeyegroup #ophthalmology #healthcare #eyecare #optometry

According to the CDC, #diabeticretinopathy is the most common cause of vision loss among adults in the country. But that's not all: #diabetes can also raise your risk for other vision complications, such as cataracts and glaucoma. Read more about the different forms of diabetic eye disease in our latest blog below.

For most of us, this Thanksgiving is unlike any we’ve experienced before. During a year where we’ve been called to make great sacrifices, it’s important to reflect on the things that deserve our gratitude. We are #thankful for the healthcare workers and first responders who have worked tirelessly to keep us safe. And we are thankful for our doctors, team members, and patients whose lives we get to impact each and every day. We wish everyone a happy and enjoyable Thanksgiving!
