Diabetes Education to Support
You and Your Staff

As an eye care professional, you have a critical role in the early detection of diabetes. To support your efforts, Uuniversity offers diabetes-focused education in partnership with the American Diabetes Association® (ADA).

In addition to on-demand courses, live virtual education is offered several times a year as a convenient way to learn from experts in diabetes care. Many of these courses offer complimentary COPE-approved continuing education (CE) credits.

Boost Your vsp.com Presence

The ADA Badge helps your practice stand out to the hundreds of thousands of patients who visit the VSP® Find a Doctor Directory on vsp.com each month. The badge further showcases your commitment to supporting your patients’ overall health, as well as their vision.

  • What is the American Diabetes Badge?
