Diabetic Retinal Exam
For patients living with diabetes, a retinal exam is recommended once per year. If you have diabetes, it’s important to get eye screenings regularly to check for potential complications like diabetic retinopathy. Left undiagnosed, diabetic retinopathy can lead to vision loss and potential blindness. In fact, the disease among adults ages 20-74, accounts for the most frequent cause of new cases of blindness in developed countries.
Diabetic retinal exams are performed in the office and results can be seen immediately when your exam is performed by an Ophthalmologist.
