Diabetic Eye Care
Understanding the importance of a comprehensive eye exam for those diagnosed with diabetes is crucial. Conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, glaucoma and cataracts are potential risks for individuals with diabetes. Moreover, diabetes is the leading cause of vision loss among people between ages 18 to 64, and the risk does not diminish as one grows older.
Early detection is the strongest detection against diabetic eye diseases.
Many people with diabetes may not notice changes in their vision until the damage has become severe, as diabetic changes in the eye can remain asymptomatic for a long time. This silent progression is why regular eye exams are vital.
It is wise to have a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year, or right away if you notice any changes in your vision.
Should you experience any sudden changes or fluctuation in vision, contact Eye Care Center of Virginia without delay. Call our office today to schedule an appointment.
