How Diabetes Affects the Eyes
High blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, the part of the eye responsible for processing light and creating clear vision.
Over time, this damage can lead to a range of vision problems. Because these changes often occur gradually, many patients do not notice symptoms until the condition has progressed. Regular eye exams allow us to detect these changes before they begin to affect your sight.
What Is Diabetic Eye Disease?
Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye conditions caused by diabetes. These may include:
- Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to the blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to vision loss if untreated.
- Diabetic Macular Edema (DME): Swelling in the central part of the retina, affecting detailed vision.
- Increased Risk of Other Conditions: Diabetes may also increase the likelihood of developing glaucoma and cataracts.
Why Annual Diabetic Eye Exams Matter
Annual eye exams are a critical part of managing diabetes. They allow for early detection, consistent monitoring, and timely intervention when needed. Your exam may include:
- Comprehensive Vision Testing: Measures clarity and checks for prescription changes.
- Retinal Imaging: Captures detailed images of the retina to detect damage to blood vessels.
- Dilated Eye Exam: Allows for a closer evaluation of the retina and optic nerve.
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography): Provides cross-sectional imaging to identify swelling or fluid buildup.
We take time to explain your results clearly and answer any questions, so you understand your eye health and next steps.
