Diabetic Eye Exams
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy, common in people with diabetes, can lead to vision loss and blindness by affecting the blood vessels in the retina. If you have diabetes, have a yearly eye exam to monitor your eye health.
But what you may not realize is that people with diabetes almost always have unique eye care needs and considerations, even if their blood sugar is well controlled.
Macular Edema
Macular edema occurs when blood vessels leak into the macula, a part of the retina, leading to swelling and blurry vision. The main cause is often diabetic retinopathy, which can result in vision loss.
