Any person diagnosed with diabetes is at risk for developing Diabetic Retinopathy that could lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. Early detection is key to prevent vision loss so it is important that individuals with diabetes have an annual eye exam to check for early signs of diabetic retinopathy, even if there are no symptoms. Our eye doctors are highly trained to thoroughly evaluate your eyes for any signs of diabetic retinopathy with a dilated retinal exam.
