What Are Diabetic Eye Exams?
A diabetic eye exam is like a standard comprehensive eye exam — in the sense that it fully inspects your vision and eye health — but it includes specific testing for those who have diabetes to help ensure that their condition has not compromised their sight. Our OCT retinal imager gives us a pristine and highly accurate view of your eyes, so we can determine how well your eyes are doing and develop a proactive plan to protect your health should something be amiss.
Why Are Diabetic Eye Exams Important?
Our Advanced Diagnostics
Our team has, and the deep experience and training to fully understand, the cutting-edge tech we utilize to assess your eye health. Early detection of diabetic retinopathy requires both high-end, accurate tech and the expertise to see the subtle signs of damage to your retina. Our equipment, especially our industry-leading optical coherence tomography (OCT), can often find signs of a problem before symptoms develop.
