According to the Hawaii Department of Health, 12,000 to 24,000 people go blind every year because of diabetes complications. But 90 percent of those cases could be prevented through early detection and treatment. That's one of the reasons Project Vision Hawaii is bringing its vision screening recreation vehicle to the Big Island. The RV -- here for the third year in a row -- will be on the island from today until Sept. 18, with 17 screenings at 14 different locations.
