A Resolution recognizing April 25, 2026, as "Diabetic Eye Screening Day" in Pennsylvania.
This House Resolution designates April 25, 2026, as "Diabetic Eye Screening Day" in Pennsylvania to raise awareness about diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness among people with diabetes. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic recognition of free and low-cost eye screening events organized by various medical institutions across the state. It highlights the importance of early detection for diabetic eye conditions, which often show no symptoms until vision damage becomes irreversible. The measure is sponsored by multiple state representatives and focuses on promoting public health awareness rather than implementing policy changes.
