All people living with diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. This condition affects the small blood vessels of the retina at the back of the eye and can result in blurred and hazy vision, and fine details may become hard to see.
However, early detection and treatment can help prevent around 98% of vision loss caused by diabetic retinopathy. Credentialled Diabetes Educators (CDEs) play a critical role in identifying eye conditions, ensuring they inform their clients of the importance of regular eye tests, and ultimately preventing vision loss amongst people with diabetes.
As a result of the ongoing impacts diabetic retinopathy can have on people living with diabetes, the Vision Initiative has collaborated with ADEA to create a three hour accredited eye health training for CDEs.
On completion of this course, you will have an understanding of:
The online training is free for all CDEs and will ultimately allow for a thorough understanding of how to assist people living with diabetes to achieve optimal eye health.
Members of ADEA can find the eye health training module on the ADEA LMS. Click here to register now. By completing the ADEA endorsed module, you can achieve 3 CPD points.
Managed by Vision 2020 Australia, the Vision Initiative is a Victorian Government funded integrated eye health promotion program which aims to prevent avoidable blindness and address the impact of vision loss in the Victorian community.
Multilingual resources and videos are available in 10 languages including Arabic, Burmese, Cantonese, Dari, Greek, Hazaragi, Italian, Mandarin, Tamil and Vietnamese.
