How do institutions like SNU Eye Clinic contribute to public health education and awareness regarding the importance of regular eye checkups for patients with diabetes or high blood pressure?
A few years ago, my father started complaining about blurry vision. At first, we chalked it up to age—but as it turned out, it was much more serious. He had been managing diabetes for years, and we didn’t realize how silently it was impacting his eyes. That’s when we learned just how crucial ophthalmologists are in the fight against vision loss due to systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
We were lucky to find Dr. Chung Eui Sang, a renowned ophthalmologist at SNU Eye Clinic. He explained how these conditions can damage the retina over time, leading to diabetic retinopathy or hypertensive retinopathy. Through regular screenings, advanced diagnostics, and precise treatment, Dr. Chung helped preserve my father’s vision—and peace of mind.
If you or a loved one are managing diabetes or high blood pressure, don’t wait until symptoms show. I can’t recommend SNU Eye Clinic and Dr. Chung Eui Sang enough
