Why Choose Diabetic Eye Exams?
Early Detection of Eye Diseases
Our diabetic eye exams allow for early detection of diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, glaucoma, and other conditions associated with diabetes. Early treatment can prevent severe vision loss.
Comprehensive Eye Care
We offer a full range of eye care services to ensure your eyes stay healthy while managing diabetes. Our team works closely with your healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive management of your eye health.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
Our clinic uses the latest diagnostic technology to detect subtle changes in your vision and retina. This includes retinal imaging, OCT (optical coherence tomography), and more to catch eye diseases early.
How Does a Diabetic Eye Exam Work?
A diabetic eye exam is specifically designed to monitor changes in your eyes caused by diabetes. Our exam includes a thorough evaluation of your retina and the blood vessels in your eyes, looking for signs of diabetic retinopathy or macular edema. We also check for cataracts and glaucoma, both of which can develop in individuals with diabetes.
Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools such as OCT scans and digital retinal photography to capture detailed images of your eyes, allowing us to detect changes that are not visible through a standard eye exam. Regular diabetic eye exams are essential for maintaining your eye health and preventing complications.
Who Should Have Diabetic Eye Exams?
Individuals with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes
If you have diabetes, regular eye exams are crucial. Diabetic retinopathy can develop without symptoms in its early stages, making regular monitoring essential for preventing vision loss.
Patients with Family History of Diabetes
If diabetes runs in your family, it's important to get regular eye exams to detect any early signs of diabetic eye diseases before they progress.
Individuals with Fluctuating Blood Sugar Levels
Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can affect your vision and increase the risk of diabetic eye conditions. If your blood sugar isn't well controlled, we recommend more frequent eye exams.
If you are managing diabetes, protect your vision with regular diabetic eye exams. Book an appointment with G&G Eye Doctors today.
