Diabetic Eye Care
Patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes have to take care of themselves in some additional ways including diet, monitoring of blood sugar levels, as well as vision care. The Clavenna Vision Institute understands the needs of patients with diabetes and meets and exceeds the expectations for the care of those patients.
Regular eye exams help detect changes in the eyes before vision can become damaged due to diabetes.
Every diabetic needs to have their eyes checked for diabetic retinopathy* at least once a year.
*Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common preventable causes of vision loss. The key word here is preventable. We can detect early diabetic changes in the eyes long before the vision is threatened. Treatment, which usually involves laser, stops the progression and saves the vision in the vast majority of cases. Most diabetic eye exams involve just an examination but occasionally special testing is needed.
