Caring for Your Eyes
Living with diabetes means paying attention to more than just blood sugar. It also means taking proactive steps to protect your vision. At Advanced EyeCare Center P.C., we provide comprehensive eye exams tailored for people with diabetes.
We recommend that patients with diabetes schedule a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year, even if their vision seems stable. For some, more frequent visits may be recommended based on personal health history or exam findings.
Our modern imaging technology, friendly team, and calm, supportive setting will help you safeguard your sight and feel confident in your long-term eye health. Book an appointment today.
Why People with Diabetes
Need Eye Exams
Diabetes can affect the tiny blood vessels in the eye, sometimes without early symptoms. If left undetected, these changes can lead to vision loss.
Eye exams allow us to see these changes before you notice them, giving us the opportunity to step in early with care and management. Making diabetic eye exams a regular part of your health routine protects your vision today and supports your overall wellness for years to come.
Understanding Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common eye complications of diabetes. It occurs when high blood sugar damages the blood vessels in the retina, the part of the eye responsible for vision.
Early stages may not cause symptoms, but over time, it can lead to blurred vision, floaters, or even permanent vision loss. Regular eye exams are key to catching retinopathy early, when treatment can slow or prevent further damage. By staying ahead of the condition, we help you maintain the quality of life that comes with clear, reliable vision.
Diagnostic Testing for Clarity and Confidence
Early detection is essential to preventing vision loss in people with diabetes. We use modern imaging tools to give you a complete picture of your eye health.
- iCare measures eye pressure comfortably and without a puff of air.
- Clarus wide field imaging allows us to capture detailed, high-resolution photos of the retina, helping us spot changes in blood vessels or early signs of disease.
- OCT (optical coherence tomography) provides cross-sectional images of retinal (back of the eye) layers, making it possible to detect swelling or subtle changes that may signal diabetic macular edema.
- Visual field testing helps us evaluate how your vision is functioning day to day.
