Why Annual Diabetic Exams are Essential
Diabetes is a systemic disease that affects small blood vessels throughout the body. While it is well-known for causing complications such as kidney malfunction and reduced sensation in the hands and feet, its impact on vision is equally significant.
To prevent permanent vision loss, all diabetics should have a complete diabetic eye exam at least once per year. Our comprehensive exams include:
-
Vision Assessment: A thorough check of your visual acuity.
-
Dilated Retinal Exam: A detailed inspection of the back of the eye to look for early signs of diabetic eye disease, such as leaking vessels or retinal swelling.
-
Preventative Counseling: We discuss the importance of maintaining consistent blood sugar control, as stable levels are proven to significantly reduce the risk of vision loss.
