Eye Health Solutions

  As the end of 2022 approaches, I want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation to all of the wonderful patients at Eye Health Solutions.  Thank you for making me feel welcome and for making my first year in Knoxville a success.  I am so grateful to each patient, new and established, that trusted me with their eye care, as well as to the staff and doctors of EHS for their support along the way.  It has been a pleasure getting to meet so many new faces and families this last year! Thank you for choosing Eye Health Solutions – we appreciate you! Wishing you good health in the new year, Dr. Rachel

  Diabetes and the Eyes If you didn’t get a chance to watch Dr. Jason on the WHO-13 Hello Iowa segment – check it out below! Eye exams are an essential part of the care plan for diabetic patients, and 46% of people with diabetes are not getting their eyes checked regularly. Dr. Jason reviews how diabetes can impact the eyes and why early detection of these complications is important. Of the US population: ·           11.3% (37.3 million people) are diabetic ·           8.5% are undiagnosed ·           38.0% (96 million people) are pre-diabetic across all age groups ·           1 in 3 over the age of 65 is diabetic and 50% are pre-diabetic ·           The average medical expenditure for someone with diabetes is $16,000 per year, with $9,000 of that being tied directly to the diabetes. https://who13.com/hello-iowa/preventing-and-managing-diabetes-with-eye-appointment/?fbclid=IwAR0r-8NxneyZKio4yKLwE4Op9EKsHTemA7G1Rr5GI5bubLOfBzgkpzIH-H8
