Eye disease may refer to an illness that directly impacts the eye, such as “pink eye.” Or it may refer to a disease’s toll on your eyes’ health. An example of this is “diabetic eye disease” which is not its own condition but a complication of diabetes. The important thing to know is that your Vision Source doctor will partner with you to improve your long-term outcomes.
