Health care disparities are present despite advancements in medicine and health. Individuals who are of lower socio-economic status tend to experience health outcomes that are worse than those of higher socio-economic status. This seems to be the case despite controlling for various confounders such as income and education. Situations are compounded when individuals have diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic disease that claims many individuals, in particular, minorities and those of low socio-economic status. If diabetes is not controlled, it can lead to vision troubles such as diabetic retinopathy, thus individuals with diabetes should obtain a dilated eye exam to ensure that this does not occur. Intersectionality theory directs this analysis and provides a basis for understanding disparities in dilated eye exams among adults with diabetes. In particular, the theory examines any observed differences in dilated eye exams based on intersections of race/ethnicity, class, age, and gender.
