Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetic Eye Disease: A Comprehensive Overview

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects the body’s ability to produce insulin for controlling blood glucose levels. Unregulated blood glucose levels can cause damage to internal organs, including the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels.

Elevated blood sugar levels can impact the small blood vessels in the eyes, potentially leading to permanent vision loss. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), proper monitoring and early detection can prevent 90% of diabetes-related vision loss.

Diabetic eye disease encompasses several eye conditions resulting from diabetes, including:

It’s recommended that individuals with diabetes undergo comprehensive eye exams annually to detect early signs of diabetic eye disease. Additionally, taking steps to manage blooad glucose levels through a physician-guided diet and exercise plan is crucial.

What is Diabetic Eye Disease?

Various eye conditions among diabetic individuals are collectively referred to as Diabetic Eye Disease. The most prevalent form of diabetic eye disease is called Diabetic Retinopathy.

Early Detection is Key

In the early stages of Diabetic Retinopathy, there may not be any visible signs. It is why, particularly for those with Diabetes, annual eye examinations are not only recommended but necessary. By identifying the problem in time, we can provide advice and treatment plans to prevent further complications.

Recognizing the Signs

When symptoms do emerge, they might manifest as:

This type of bleeding in the retina results in the blocking of normal vision of images in the brain. If any of these signs sound familiar, it is important to seek our expert care immediately.

Diabetes Poses a Risk to Everyone

It is regardless, as all people who suffer from Type 1, Type 2, or Gestational Diabetes are at risk. Your longevity of the diabetic condition compounds this risk. However, good management of blood sugar is an important deterrent to the complications of vision. We also assure you and direct you back to your primary care provider, if necessary, for extra health support.

   Very please with the customer service and attention I received at this location! Usually you feel like a hunted prey when I walk into these places because they want the sale but not here! I was treated with respect and was very comfortable with the young lady that helped me. I was also explained in detail why my lenses were adjusted since I am now staring at a computer screen all day long for work! No one has broken that down for me! What a difference it has made too! Thank you so much guys!
