Diabetic Eye Care

Diabetic Eye Exams

Regular eye exams are vital for individuals with diabetes, even if their vision seems normal. Diabetic eye exams allow our experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists to monitor the health of your eyes closely. During the exam, we will evaluate the retina and optic nerve for signs of diabetic eye diseases such as swelling, leaking blood vessels, or changes in the blood vessels' appearance. Early detection and intervention are critical in preventing irreversible damage to your vision

 

Treatment Options

If diabetic eye diseases are detected during your eye exam, our team will discuss appropriate treatment options tailored to your specific condition. Treatment may include medications, laser therapy (such as focal laser treatment or panretinal photocoagulation), or in severe cases, surgery. The goal is to manage the underlying disease and minimize vision loss or complications. We work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and concerns.

​

Lifestyle Management

In addition to medical treatments, managing your diabetes through lifestyle changes can significantly impact your eye health. This includes maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, monitoring blood sugar levels as directed by your healthcare provider, and quitting smoking if applicable. These lifestyle modifications not only support overall diabetes management but also contribute to preserving your vision and reducing the risk of diabetic eye complications.
