Why Are Diabetic Eye Exams Important?
Diabetes can have a significant impact on your eye health, potentially leading to serious complications if left untreated. A diabetic eye exam is essential for:

Detecting early signs of diabetic retinopathy
Monitoring changes in blood vessels in the retina
Preventing vision loss through timely intervention
Evaluating for conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular edema

What to Expect During a Diabetic Eye Exam
At Maredia Family Eyecare, we tailor each diabetic eye exam to your individual needs. During your visit, you can expect:

Comprehensive Medical History: We review your medical history, including diabetes management and any existing symptoms.
Dilated Eye Exam: This allows us to examine the back of your eye (retina) for signs of diabetic retinopathy or other changes.
Advanced Imaging: Using cutting-edge diagnostic tools like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinal photography, we capture detailed images of your retina for accurate assessment.
Eye Pressure Measurement: To screen for glaucoma, a condition more common in individuals with diabetes.
