HOW ARE EYE HEALTH AND DIABETES LINKED?

 Diabetes can cause a variety of medical conditions throughout your body, including your eyes. Our diagnostic services like diabetic retinopathy evaluation can identify these issues.  

Diabetes-related eye conditions include: 

• Diabetic retinopathy: This is a disease affecting your retina's blood vessels. It's common in people with diabetes. We offer diabetic retinopathy evaluation. 
• Diabetic macular edema: This is swelling in your macula, part of your retina, and it can cause rapid vision lost. It's caused by diabetic retinopathy. 
• Glaucoma: People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing glaucoma than people without diabetes.  

To learn more about your eye health and diabetes, consult with our ophthalmologist. Our team will help you understand the connection between diabetes and eye health.
