SIGMA Pharmaceuticals Ltd’s
Amcal and Guardian pharmacies
are launching an eye health
awareness campaign in partnership
with the Centre for Eye Research
Australia (CERA).
The campaign would involve
Amcal and Guardian pharmacists
giving patients a structured plan to
help prevent diabetes-related vision
loss, including the importance of
healthy eating, the role of blood
pressure and the need to have
regular eye checks, Sigma said.
The campaign will run in July.
CERA principal investigator Dr
Peter van Wijngaarden said the
organisation was committed to
developing an efficient, costeffective
and sustainable nationwide
diabetic eye screening system
to detect the early changes of eye
disease and start treatment before
vision loss occurred.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 23 Jul 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 23 Jul 14
