Diabetic Eye Care

Your Partner Against Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes can have a profound impact on the eyes, and our doctors understand this delicate relationship well, as it relates to eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy. In fact, eye doctors are sometimes the first to diagnose diabetes during eye exams, before its signs are even noticeable. Whether diabetes has been a part of your daily life for years or you’re just now learning about its effects on your body, we provide compassionate, in-depth care to protect your vision from lasting harm.

What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?

As its name implies, diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease that affects your retina. This key structure is located in the back of your eye and converts light into signals that get sent to your brain. Diabetic retinopathy damages the retina by degrading its blood vessels, causing them to leak, swell, or lose circulation. This condition makes it harder to see, and if its left to progress, it can result in complete blindness.

Do You Have Diabetic Retinopathy?

Some diabetic patients are more likely to develop diabetic retinopathy than others, particularly those who are African American, Latino, or Native American. People with high blood pressure and those who smoke are also more susceptible to the disease. There are no early symptoms of diabetic retinopathy, but once it has started to progress, you may notice patchy areas in your vision, overall blurry vision, floaters, or strings in your field of view that don’t move.

Diagnostics & Solutions

It’s critical to get annual comprehensive eye exams so we can catch your diabetic retinopathy early, especially because it doesn’t produce signs until irreversible vision loss has taken place. We’re equipped with the finest technology to spot key indicators of diabetic retinopathy, and we’ll form a plan to keep your sight healthy if we find it.

We’ll explain our findings and how they inform our personalized care plans and track any changes between appointments.
