At Marianas Eye Institute, we know that diabetes is hard to live with.  You already know that diet, exercise, and controlling your blood sugar are important.  Those will help you keep your vision.  But there is something even simpler that you can do:  get an eye exam.

You see, diabetes can damage your eyes without you even knowing about it.  We see so many people at our Saipan eye clinic, who come in after they notice vision problems.  We can help them.  But we can help you even more before things get bad.
