Diabetic Retinopathy: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Tracking using EyePromise^® DVS and Diopsys^® ERG

A Webinar with Nate Lightizer, OD, FAAO Diabetes is a common disease that can have a potent effect on the retina. Abnormalities caused by oxidative stress and even inflammation can begin to show as early as 1 month after onset. Eye care providers can objectively evaluate retinal function using Diopsys^® ffERG/Flicker vision tests, potentially catching deficiencies of the retina even before vascular abnormalities develop.^1-4 Once identified, dysfunction may then be improved by EyePromise^® DVS nutritional supplements.^5-6 Please join Dr. Lighthizer as he discusses the need for objective, functional testing of the retina and the use of supplements in diabetic patients to help identify, track, and respond to vision problems sooner. This webinar is co-sponsored by
