‘Diabetes and the Eye' lecture set for April 11 in West Milford

Warwick - Dr. Mandes Kates, a Warwick ophthalmologist, and nurse Lourdes Braadt, certified diabetes educator with the St. Anthony Community Hospital Diabetes Center, will lecture on “Diabetes and the Eye” on Friday, April 11, at 2:30 p.m., in the Bald Eagle Commons Van Dyk Health Care Center, 197 Cahill Road in West Milford, N.J. According to the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes have a higher risk of blindness than people without the disease. But most people who have diabetes have nothing more than minor eye disorders. Kates will explain how to keep minor problems minor and treatments that often work well if addressed right away.
