Diabetic Eye Care
At Dalton Family Eyecare, we work to provide our community with the best vision possible, while paying extra special attention to our patients with diabetes. In our diabetic eye care, we’ll monitor your eyes for signs of conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, and work to protect and preserve your vision with custom treatments.
Why is
Diabetic Eye Care Important
Diabetes can affect your health in many ways, but it can have an especially negative impact on your vision. Untreated diabetes can lead to glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, vision loss, and other serious health complications, which is why we strive to deliver comprehensive eye care, so it’s easier to minimize the effect the disease has on your vision.
You
May Have Diabetes if…
If you notice any of these common symptoms of diabetes, you should visit our eye doctors to get your eyes checked right away — eye doctors are often the first to detect if a patient has diabetes!
- Frequent urination
- Blurry vision
- Feeling very thirsty or hungry, even when eating or drinking
- Extreme fatigue
- Bruises and cuts that heal slowly
What
Diabetes Means for Your Eyes
Diabetes can damage your eyes without you even knowing about it, which makes getting regular eye exams a crucial part of diabetic eye care. During these exams, our team uses state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to identify signs of diabetes before your vision is affected.
Our Diabetic
Eye Disease Treatments
Our team uses cutting-edge technology, like the Diopsys visual system test, to identify issues that aren’t easily identifiable in other screenings. In other words, we can evaluate the risk or presence of diabetic eye diseases, like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, earlier than most of the industry. We’ll counsel you on the best ways to control blood sugar, stay active, and follow a plan to stay ahead of diabetic eye disease and preserve your eyesight.
Diabetic
Eye Care From a Family You Know and Trust
We understand how important your vision is, which is why we treat every patient like they’re a member of our family. You can rely on our team to provide attentive diabetic eye care and treat conditions like diabetic retinopathy using cutting-edge equipment for the best possible vision results. We will work closely with you to tailor a plan to manage your diabetes and help safeguard your vision for years to come.
