Sharp Sight’s New Video Stresses Early Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy

In a timely initiative on World Diabetes Day, Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals launched an impactful awareness video to educate the public about the risks of Diabetic Retinopathy and other eye conditions linked to diabetes. The video, featuring well-known actor Shishir Sharma, emphasizes the need for early detection and preventive eye care, specifically aimed at diabetic patients. With diabetes becoming a leading cause of preventable vision loss, this campaign serves as a wake-up call for patients to take charge of their eye health before it’s too late.

Diabetic Retinopathy is a major cause of blindness, affecting nearly one in three diabetics worldwide, often without any noticeable symptoms. This silent yet dangerous condition can progress undetected, resulting in irreversible vision damage if left untreated. Recognizing the critical importance of awareness, Deepshikha Sharma, CEO of Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals, highlighted the need for preventive eye care as the best approach to managing diabetes-related eye conditions. She shared, “Prevention is truly the best course of action when it comes to eye care, especially for diabetic patients.”

In collaboration with Shishir Sharma, Sharp Sight’s campaign encourages diabetic patients to make regular eye screenings a priority. Shishir Sharma, the campaign’s ambassador, conveyed this message with urgency, stating, “On World Diabetes Day, it's crucial to remind diabetic patients that maintaining eye health is just as important as controlling blood sugar levels.” Sharma further emphasized that Diabetic Retinopathy and similar conditions are often silent threats to vision, developing without obvious symptoms. Through timely eye exams and early diagnosis, he believes diabetic patients can prevent permanent vision loss.

Adding to the campaign’s impact, Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals showcased its use of advanced technologies to detect eye conditions at early stages. The hospital employs cutting-edge retinal imaging and AI-assisted diagnostics to provide accurate and timely diagnoses, enabling patients to take preventive measures. “By leveraging the latest in retinal imaging and diagnostics, Sharp Sight is committed to curbing preventable vision loss,” Deepshikha Sharma stated, reaffirming the hospital’s dedication to community health and vision care.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the top causes of blindness among working-age adults globally, with millions of cases going undetected due to lack of awareness and routine eye care. Sharp Sight’s campaign aims to fill this gap, offering patients accessible and effective solutions for eye health management.

The hospital is encouraging diabetic patients to make regular eye exams a part of their routine health care. By detecting potential issues early, patients can significantly reduce their risk of vision loss and maintain a better quality of life. Through this initiative, Sharp Sight hopes to inspire a shift in how people view preventive care, particularly in the context of diabetes.

With this awareness campaign, Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals continues its mission to make quality eye care accessible and emphasizes that early intervention remains the best protection against diabetes-related eye conditions.
