Diabetic eye examinations

Protect Your Vision with Regular Screenings

If you have diabetes, your eyes are at greater risk for serious conditions like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular edema. That’s why it’s important to get a comprehensive diabetic eye exam every year—even if your vision seems fine.

At Vision Care Associates, we provide detailed diabetic eye exams using advanced technology to catch problems early, before they affect your sight.

What Is a Diabetic Eye Exam?

A diabetic eye exam goes beyond a basic vision check. We examine the blood vessels in the back of your eye (the retina) for signs of damage caused by high blood sugar. These changes can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated.

What We Check For:

• Diabetic retinopathy (damaged blood vessels in the retina)

• Macular edema (swelling in the center of the retina)

• Glaucoma

• Cataracts

What to Expect:

• A thorough review of your medical and eye health history

• Pupil dilation for a better view of your retina

• Retinal imaging or OCT scans

• Personalized advice on managing eye health with diabetes

Why It Matters:

Diabetic eye disease often has no symptoms in the early stages, which makes regular exams essential. The sooner we find a problem, the better we can protect your vision.
