Diabetic eye disease is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness in the United States and disproportionately affects Hispanics/Latinos. This article provides an overview of the Diabetes and Healthy Eyes Toolkit, a culturally and linguistically appropriate resource designed for community health workers to educate people with diabetes about eye health complications. The toolkit provides science-based, easy-to-understand information that can be used to conduct interactive, educational sessions about diabetes and eye health, the importance of comprehensive dilated eye examinations at least once a year for people with diabetes, and other ways to prevent vision loss and blindness.
糖尿病眼病是美国导致视力丧失和失明的主要原因，并且不成比例地影响西班牙裔/拉丁裔人群。本文概述了糖尿病和健康眼睛工具包，这是一种文化和语言适宜的资源，专为社区卫生工作者设计，用于教育糖尿病患者有关眼部健康并发症的知识。该工具包提供了基于科学、易于理解的信息，可用于开展关于糖尿病和眼部健康、对糖尿病患者至少每年进行一次全面散瞳检查的重要性以及其他预防视力丧失和失明的方法的互动式教育课程。
