DIABETIC EYE DISEASE AWARENESS MONTH

It’s Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month!
Diabetic Eye Disease Month focuses attention on keeping eyes healthy and urges vision care organizations and eye care professionals to encourage patients to get ongoing eye exams. More than 30 million people living in the United States have diabetes, which can increase the risk for vision loss and blindness from diabetic eye diseases. The longer a person has diabetes, the greater their risk of developing diabetic eye disease.

Make sure your patients are taking care of their eyes and seeing you for regular eye exams because early detection and treatment can prevent or delay vision loss. And remember that Eschenbach can provide you with the products to offer those with a vision impairment due to diabetic eye diseases which will supplement any medical treatment they are receiving and maximize their visual outcomes.

SPACE CAMP

Our Two Sponsored Students Have Graduated from Space Camp!
We are excited to announce that the two visually impaired students who Eschenbach sponsored to attend the 2024 Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students (SCIVIS) successfully graduated! Our two winners traveled to the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL, and were immersed in astronaut training techniques using equipment adapted from NASA’s very own astronaut program. They got to ride in a multi-axis trainer, experience a 1/6th Gravity Chair, assemble and launch a rocket, do an underwater scuba build, and complete a spaceflight mission.

Learn more about their trip at https://eschenbach.com/about-us/giving-back.asp.
