Preserve Your Vision With Diabetes Eye Exams From Trusted Dallas Optometrists
Although diabetes is a life-changing diagnosis, you can prevent many of its complications by having regular check-ups.
An annual eye exam is recommended by CDC for the prevention of serious conditions caused by diabetes, such as retinopathy and glaucoma.
Eyes Now, an eye care practice based in Dallas, TX, launched updated eye exam services for clients with diabetes.
The excess sugar in the bloodstream goes through the blood vessels at the back of the eyes and damages them, which can lead to serious eye problems, including diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, open-angle glaucoma, and cataracts.
During their technologically advanced eye examinations, the qualified optometrists at Eyes Now will thoroughly check your eyes for signs of disease or other potential problems using different tools and techniques.
Your optic disc, macula, retina, and vascular system will be examined using a fundus camera, which will take detailed color photographs of the interior of your eye.
Optical coherence tomography scans capture cross-sectional images, which will then be used to assess the health of the vascular system behind your retina.
These methods allow the optometrist to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. A visual field test will be performed to determine whether there are any blind spots in your vision.
“Everyone was courteous and friendly,” said a satisfied client. “They were careful to keep all equipment clean. My eye exam was very thorough and the prescription was perfect.”
Diabetes puts you at risk of various eye diseases and other serious ocular conditions.
Using their advanced equipment and experience, the highly qualified optometrists at Eyes Now will find potential problems at an early stage to preserve your vision.
