What Is a Diabetic Eye Exam?
Diabetes can have an outsized effect on your vision, but with the help of our advanced diagnostics and specialized expertise, we can spot issues well before they can harm your vision. During a diabetic eye exam, we’ll check for common conditions, like diabetic retinopathy, and develop a personalized treatment plan if we find anything.
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when the blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) are damaged due to high blood sugar levels over time. Early diagnosis and treatment of this condition are crucial to preserving your vision, preventing progression, managing risk factors, and exploring a wider range of treatment options. Our comprehensive care team of highly trained optometrists, ophthalmologists, and technicians can detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy through specialized screenings using advanced technology, like retinal imaging.
Why Are Diabetic Eye Exams Important?
Patients with diabetes need to pay special attention to their eye health to make sure their vision is protected from avoidable damage. Our comprehensive care team can provide just that with our diabetic eye exams. Because diabetes can seriously harm your vision and lead to other issues later in life, a specialized exam allows us to create a full picture of your eye health that we can track over time. Using advanced diagnostics and tools, we can help you stay a step ahead of complications or effects on your vision.
