Understanding Diabetic Exam
Diabetes is a leading cause of preventable blindness. High blood sugar can damage the delicate blood vessels in your retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy. Regular specialized eye exams are crucial for detecting these changes early—often before they affect your vision. We communicate directly with your primary care physician or endocrinologist to ensure your total health is managed.
