"The high prevalence of visual impairment among people with diabetes indicates a need for diverse public health strategies to reduce the burden of both correctable and uncorrectable visual impairment," the author stated.

"It is important to identify and pursue ways to increase access to eye care for everyone and to correct visual impairment, where possible, to diminish morbidity and mortality due to impaired vision," the author added.

The study has been published in the October issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
