Diabetes has far-reaching implications throughout your body, and your eyes are one area that can be affected. Diabetics are at higher risk of serious eye conditions, such as glaucoma and cataracts. They are also at risk of developing a condition called diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic eye exams are critical for the protection of diabetic patients, helping them take control of their eye health and protecting their vision from these serious conditions. Book an Appointment now at Sutphin Eye Care.
A diabetic eye exam is an eye exam designed to detect diabetic eye problems, including diabetic retinopathy. This exam involves dilating the eyes, giving the doctor the ability to see the retina and examine it for any signs of retinopathy.
You should have your first diabetic eye exam as soon as possible after your diabetes diagnosis. Because diabetes often goes undetected for years, it’s possible that you have already suffered damage. After your first exam, you will need to have an eye exam every year to ensure you are not at risk of retinopathy. Discuss the recommended frequency with our doctor when you come in for the exam.
