Diabetics now have yet another non-invasive method to check their blood glucose level, thanks to the efforts of Freedom Meditech to come up with an eye scanner, scanning the front portion of the eye to find out just how much glucose resides in that segment. This technique will have a major impact on reducing laser exposure, abating any potential long-term safety hazards. It won't pose any risk to patients who have already developed diabetic eye disease, but the only downside would be corneal scarring. Perfect for those who hate needles.
