<qa>  What is the most common cause of blindness among American adults 20-74 years of age?Ocular complications from diabetes remain the most common cause of blindness among American adults 20-74 years of age. A recent survey reported that loss of vision is the most feared of all diabetic complications. Thus, it is possible that an educational intervention at an ophthalmology office may have additional impact beyond the current standard of diabetes education at a primary care or diabetologistendocrinologist office alone. This study will determine whether diabetes education in the ophthalmology office which includes same-visit feedback of HbA1c levels, combined with standardized education regarding same-visit blood pressure, retinopathy status and overall diabetes education can improve subsequent HbA1c as compared with current standard care in an ophthalmology office.
