For people with diabetes, routine eye exams are an important part of overall health care. Diabetes increases the risk of vision problems like diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, both of which may develop without early warning signs.
Comprehensive eye exams make it possible to detect changes sooner and provide care that can help prevent vision loss down the road.
With our supportive, knowledgeable team, you can take the right steps to safeguard your sight and maintain healthy eyes for years to come.
People with type 1 and type 2 diabetes are at an increased risk of developing vision problems.
To better protect your vision, we use modern imaging tools like Fundus Photography and OCT scans. These noninvasive tests capture detailed images of the retina, allowing us to spot early changes linked to diabetes that may not otherwise be visible.
Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of long-term, uncontrolled diabetes that affects the retina at the back of the eye. It often develops without noticeable symptoms, making regular eye exams especially important.
Over time, high blood sugar can weaken retinal blood vessels, causing changes that may impact vision. With early detection and proper care, we can help you manage your eye health and reduce your risk of vision loss.
Diabetic macular edema is a possible complication of diabetic retinopathy that occurs when damaged blood vessels cause fluid buildup in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp vision.
This condition often develops slowly and without obvious symptoms, so we recommend regular eye exams to detect any potential concerns early. Timely care and ongoing monitoring help protect your sight and maintain healthy vision.
Your eye health deserves care you can count on. With decades of experience supporting the Modesto community, our team is here to help people with diabetes protect their vision for the future.
