Diabetic Eye Exam
If you have diabetes, regular diabetic eye exams can help preserve your vision and prevent complications. Our eye doctors Dr. Tim Rioux and Dr. Brent Stoliker provide eye exams to spot early warning signs of diabetic eye disease and other issues that can affect your vision if left untreated.
What is diabetic eye disease?
Diabetic eye disease is a group of eye conditions that can develop as a complication of diabetes. The most common form is diabetic retinopathy, which affects the retina’s blood vessels. Diabetes can also increase your risk of developing other conditions like cataracts and glaucoma.
Importance of regular diabetic eye exams
If you’ve been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, it’s important to get your eyes checked regularly. Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in your eyes, increasing the risk of sight-stealing conditions. By detecting and managing diabetic eye disease early through regular eye exams, you can significantly reduce the risk of vision loss and promote better overall eye health.
Diagnosing diabetic eye disease
During your eye exam, our eye doctor will carefully check your eyes for signs of diabetic eye disease. If we detect diabetic eye disease, we’ll create a personalized management plan that fits your needs and lifestyle. This may include lifestyle changes and regular follow-up appointments to keep your eyes healthy and your vision clear.
