STEVEN WISCH – NETWORK EYE/CVS PARTNERSHIP 2 19 22

Imagine facing the risk of losing your vision due to diabetes, but not having easy access to the care you need. That's the reality for many Americans, but a new initiative is aiming to change that. In this episode of 'American Medicine Today', Steven Wisch, co-founder and executive director of Network Eye, sheds light on an innovative partnership with CVS that could revolutionize diabetic eye care.

Diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration are leading causes of blindness in the U.S., affecting over 10 million people. Unfortunately, many don't seek treatment until it's too late. But what if there was a way to make eye care more accessible and affordable? That's where Network Eye's collaboration with CVS comes in. By integrating artificial intelligence into diabetic eye exams, they aim to provide convenient, cost-effective, and high-quality care right within a major retailer.

This isn't just a local initiative; if successful, it could expand nationwide, offering hope to millions. Tune in to hear Wisch discuss the challenges and triumphs of this groundbreaking project, and how it could change the landscape of diabetic eye care forever.
