Here at Distinct Eye Care, we are committed to protecting the vision of our patients living with diabetes. One of the most common complications of diabetes that affects the eyes is called diabetic retinopathy. This condition damages the retina- the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that sends visual signals to the brain.
Book OnlineDiabetic retinopathy can develop silently, with little or no noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Over time, however, it can cause blurred vision, floaters, or even significant vision loss if left untreated. The risk increases if blood sugar levels are not well controlled, but the disease can still progress even when diabetes is managed carefully.
That’s why regular eye exams are essential for anyone with diabetes. At Distinct Eye Care, we use advanced technology to detect changes in the retina as early as possible, when treatment is most effective at protecting vision.
If you have diabetes and would like your eyes examined, call us today at (281) 255-0478 to schedule your comprehensive eye exam. Early detection and proactive care are the best ways to preserve your sight.
