Your eye doctor may be the first person to detect diabetes. According to recent studies, eye exams identify signs of diabetes 20% of the time, often before patients experience any symptoms.

With 1 in 5 people with diabetes unaware they have it, regular comprehensive eye exams are crucial for early detection and prevention of vision-threatening complications.

Our blog post explains how diabetes affects your eyes and why annual exams are essential for protecting both your vision and overall health: https://www.horizoneye.com/blog/eyes-respond-diabetes

Wondering about aesthetic procedures performed by ophthalmologists? Here are some key facts:

Ophthalmologists are among the perfect providers for facial aesthetics due to extensive training in facial anatomy and surgical technique. Botox typically lasts 3-4 months while dermal fillers last 9-18 months.

Functional eyelid surgery may be covered by insurance when drooping lids impair vision, though cosmetic procedures typically aren't. Most eyelid surgery patients return to work within a week with minimal pain.
