Protect Your Vision with Regular Diabetic Eye Exams
If you have diabetes, your eye health is something you can’t afford to overlook. Diabetic eye exams are an important part of managing your condition and protecting your vision.
Diabetes can cause changes to the blood vessels in your eyes, increasing the risk of diabetic retinopathy and other vision complications. Regular eye exams help detect these issues early when they’re most treatable.
Our technology, including optomap and OCT imaging, allows us to spot problems early, even before you notice any changes in your vision.
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear—early detection is key! Contact us to schedule your next exam today.
Why People with Diabetes Need Eye Exams
People with diabetes are at an increased risk for several eye conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, and other diabetic-related vision issues.
If left undiagnosed and untreated, these issues can lead to vision loss. That’s why it’s important for people with diabetes to have eye exams once a year, even if they don’t notice any changes in their vision.
Putting Your Eye Health First with Our Technology
We use modern technology to provide accurate and thorough eye exams, including:
- Optomap retinal imaging: This technology captures a wide-field view of the retina, allowing us to detect potential issues in the back of the eye early, even before symptoms appear.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT): OCT provides a cross-sectional image of the retina, offering a detailed view that can help us monitor the health of the eye and detect early stages of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, and other conditions.
Diabetic Retinopathy:What You Need to Know
One of the most common conditions associated with diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, which occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina.
This damage can cause blood vessels to leak fluid or bleed, leading to blurry vision, vision loss, and potential blindness if not treated. Diabetic retinopathy usually develops in stages, starting with mild changes in the retina that may not cause noticeable symptoms.
Early detection is key, which is why regular eye exams are critical for people with diabetes.
