Diabetic Eye Exam

 Diabetes affects the body's ability to regulate sugar levels, leading to potential damage to blood vessels, including those in the eyes. Diabetic retinopathy affects around 30% of individuals with diabetes, causing blood and fluid leakage into the retina, resulting in vision loss.  Regular eye exams are essential for people with diabetes, acting as a crucial defense against serious eye issues. Although similar to standard exams, diabetic eye exams prioritize the meticulous assessment of retinal health and blood vessel integrity.
