Diabetic Eye Care: A Comprehensive Guide

Diabetes is a leading cause of vision loss. High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to a condition called diabetic retinopathy.

The Importance of Control

Maintaining stable blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels is the most effective way to protect your eyes from diabetic damage.

Annual Dilated Exams

If you have diabetes, an annual dilated eye exam is non-negotiable. Early signs of retinopathy can often be treated before they affect your vision.

Modern Treatments

For advanced cases, we have highly effective treatments including intravitreal injections and laser therapy that can stabilize vision and prevent further loss.
