Diabetes Eye Exam

A diabetic eye exam includes a comprehensive evaluation of the retina, blood vessels, and optic nerve using specialized tools like retinal imaging and dilation. It focuses on detecting conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and glaucoma.

A routine eye exam assesses overall vision and eye health, while a diabetic eye exam specifically looks for diabetes-related eye conditions. The diabetic exam involves more detailed retinal imaging and pupil dilation.

Signs include blurred vision, floaters, dark areas of vision, and difficulty seeing colors. Persistent symptoms should prompt an immediate visit to an eye doctor.
