Eye On Diabetes – Austin, Texas

The VSP Eye on Diabetes campaign has wrapped up another successful event in Austin, TX  on Friday August 27, 2010. VSP Vision Care has partnered with the American Diabetes Association and the Texas Optometric Association to raise awareness for the connection between eye health and diabetes for the state of Texas.  SeeZar, one of three VSP Mobile Clinics, helped over 100 Austin residents in need with free eyecare, eyewear and diabetes screenings. State Representative Mark Strama showed his support for the campaign and the important role Optometrists play in the detection and treatment of health issues, including diabetes.  The Austin event was the third stop in the Eye on Diabetes campaign, reaching a statewide audience.
Below is a photo of VSP Provider Dr. Everett Hyman from Houstin, TX volunteering his time to help out during the Eye on Diabetes campaign in Austin. To see more photos of the event,  click here.
