Why Diabetics Need Regular Eye Exams

Diabetes can have serious consequences for your eyes, including conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and even vision loss. Regular eye exams are essential for managing these risks.

  • What Diabetic Eye Exams Detect:
    • Early signs of retinopathy, which occurs when high blood sugar damages retinal blood vessels.
    • Swelling or fluid in the macula (macular edema).
    • Glaucoma or cataracts, which are more common in diabetics.
  • How Often Should You Go? Diabetics should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year—or more frequently if recommended by your doctor.
  • What We Offer: Advanced diagnostic tools and personalized care to monitor your eye health and manage complications.
