🩸 SICKLE CELL FACT OF THE DAY: PROTECT YOUR VISION 👁️❤️ Did you know that sickle cell disease can affect your eyes and vision? Sickled red blood cells can interfere with blood flow through the tiny blood vessels that supply the retina. This can lead to a complication known as sickle cell retinopathy, which can threaten vision as it progresses. One of the most important things to know is that eye problems can sometimes develop before noticeable changes in vision occur. That’s why regular comprehensive eye examinations are an important part of caring for your overall health. 👁️ Know your eyes. ❤️ Know your health. 🩸 Know sickle cell. Early detection matters. Regular eye care can help identify problems sooner and give your healthcare team an opportunity to manage complications. At Kier’s Hope Foundation, we believe that knowledge creates awareness—and awareness creates change. ❤️ Educate. Advocate. Support. Empower. ❤️ Get involved. Donate. Spread the word. ❤️ See HOPE. See a brighter future.
