Gulden’s New Diabetes Eye-Plus™ Model Helps Explain and Demonstrate The Effects of Diabetes on Eyes, Plus Other Body Systems
- Gulden’s New Diabetes Eye-Plus Model demonstrates to patients the effect of ineffectively treated diabetes on four body systems: retinas, arteries, kidneys, and nerves – helping eyecare professionals encourage diabetics to adhere to their treatment regimens – helping to save their eyesight.
The model provides eyecare professionals with a powerful, time-saving tool to promote patient compliance with their diabetes treatment.
ELKINS PARK, PA – Gulden Ophthalmics, a company with a long history of providing eyecare professionals with a wide range of high-quality eye models that help explain and demonstrate numerous eye conditions and procedures, has introduced a new, innovative Diabetes Eye-Plus™ Model that demonstrates the effect of unsuccessfully treated diabetes on four body systems. The new model helps eyecare professionals demonstrate the devastating effects of untreated/unmonitored diabetes on patients’ kidneys, nerves, arteries, and of course, retinas.
One of the purposes of the model is the hope that by demonstrating the potential catastrophic effects of untreated diabetes on many body parts and organs patients will comply better with their prescribed medications, treatments, and diets – helping to save their eyesight.
Research indicates that 1 out of every 5 patients seen by eyecare professionals today has or will have diabetes. For years, eyecare professionals have harped on how diabetes can affect retinas and eyesight. Unfortunately, these grave statistics do not always produce compliance with medications and diets that will help preserve vision. With the Diabetes Eye-Plus Model, professionals and their staffs can better demonstrate the devastating effects of diabetes on other body systems. The hope is that by seeing these other effects, patients will be more compliant in their treatment, prolonging the functioning of their retinas and protecting their vision.
