Dr. Paul Chous has a practice specializing in diabetes eye care and education in Tacoma, WA. He developed type 1 diabetes at the age of 5, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy that required extensive laser treatment at the age of 21. He was fortunate to receive early diagnosis and effective treatment from his eye doctors (both an optometrist and an ophthalmologist) and maintains excellent vision to this day. Paul has authored more than 100 papers and a book on diabetes-related eye disease, and lectures frequently about diabetes to other eye doctors in the US and Canada. He currently serves on the Pharmacy, Podiatry, Optometry & Dentistry (PPOD) Work Group of the National Diabetes Education Program, as a consultant to several diabetes and eye care companies, and is currently conducting clinical research on diabetic retinopathy and visual performance.
