MEXICO CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–More than 40 leading ophthalmologists, vision researchers, and public health\/policy experts are sharing data and holding discussions on the global burden of diabetes-related eye disease to develop a plan to address this leading cause of blindness at the 2nd<\/sup> Mexico-U.S. Symposium on Vision Health<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe Symposium is a partnership between the Government of Mexico and the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH)<\/a>, and National Eye Institute (NEI)<\/a>. It is co-chaired by Dr. Maria Julia Marinissen<\/b>, Health Attach\u00e9, U.S. Embassy \u2013 Mexico City; Acting Director, U.S. Section \u2013 Border Health Commission, HHS; Dr. Van Charles Lansingh<\/b>, Chief Medical Officer, HelpMeSee; Director of Research, “Instituto Mexicano de Oftalmolog\u00eda (IMO);” Voluntary Associate Professor of Ophthalmology and Department of Public Health Sciences, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine; and Dr. Gyan \u201cJohn\u201d Prakash<\/b>, Director, Office of International Program Activities, NIH\/NEI.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe theme of the Symposium is “Strengthening International Partnerships to Reduce the Impact of Diabetes on Eye Health,” which is being held onsite and virtually in Mexico City on January 26 and 27, 2023. Among the presenters are Dr. Michael F. Chiang<\/b>, Director, NIH\/NEI and Dr. Rohit Varma<\/b><\/a>, Founding Director, Southern California Eye Institute<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nAn internationally acclaimed clinician and epidemiologist, Dr. Varma is the world\u2019s foremost expert on eye disease in Latinos and is the principal investigator for the Los Angeles Latino Eye Study (LALES)<\/a>, the nation\u2019s largest and longest epidemiologic study (1998-2014) of eye disease in Latinos funded by the NEI, NIH, and the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities.\n<\/p>\n

\nLALES has demonstrated that Latinos have higher rates of developing visual impairment, blindness, and diabetic eye disease than non-Hispanic whites. This burden of vision loss and eye disease on the Latino community is increasing as the prevalence of diabetes increases worldwide, and many diabetes related eye diseases become more common.\n<\/p>\n

\nGiven the increasing burden of diabetes and diabetic eye disease the symposium\u2019s charge is to develop a plan to address this growing epidemic worldwide.\n<\/p>\n
