Why Diabetic Eye Exams Matter
Diabetes can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy, the most common cause of vision loss among people with diabetes. Other diabetes-related eye conditions include:
-
Diabetic macular edema (DME)
-
Glaucoma
-
Cataracts
-
Fluctuating vision
These conditions can develop without pain or noticeable changes in vision, which is why early detection through routine eye exams is so important. The earlier we catch changes in your eyes, the better your long-term outcomes.
