Diabetes-related eye disease can be difficult to talk about, especially when it involves the risk of vision loss. In this episode of D-Talk, we explore how humour can help break down fear and open important conversations around diabetic macular oedema (DME), a leading cause of vision loss in people living with diabetes. Host Dr Phyllisa Deroze is joined by Damon Wayans – comedian, actor and advocate for the “All Eyes on DME” campaign – who shares how laughter, honesty, and lived experience can raise awareness, encourage action, and help people feel less alone when facing serious health challenges.
