What is Diabetic Eye Disease?

When your insulin levels are compromised by diabetes and your blood sugar levels rise, various tissues and blood vessels throughout your body can become swollen and damaged. Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed with diabetes or you’ve been living with the condition for some time, you know that diabetes can have an effect on a wide range of areas — but did you know that your eyes can be seriously at risk?

Annual Diabetic Eye Exams

Patients whose vision is at high risk for impairment, including people with diabetes, should never wait until symptoms present themselves to receive an eye exam. Most of the eye conditions that can present themselves as a result of diabetes are progressive, meaning they can get worse the longer they’re left untreated. Preventive care — like the kind we provide at Haas Vision Center — is vital for diabetic patients to keep their eyes healthy and catch diabetic eye diseases in their early stages.

The team at Haas Vision Center are experienced in performing annual diabetic eye exams, which are specifically designed to seek out and catch early signs of diabetic eye diseases in order to treat them quickly and prevent long-term damage to your eyes.

Here’s how an annual diabetic exam works:

Dr. Haas will dilate your eyes in order to examine your retinas for signs of retinopathy.
The specialists will gauge your eye pressure, looking for signs of glaucoma.
Your vision will be examined to determine your need for corrective lenses.
The physicians will perform an overall exam to determine any other unrelated needs you may have.

As the title suggests, Dr. Haas recommends that patients living with diabetes receive an eye exam on a yearly basis in order to prevent the onset of serious eye conditions.
