Did you know? 1 in 3 adults over 40 with diabetes already show signs of diabetic retinopathy. And many don’t know it. That’s exactly why regular eye exams matter. 👁️

Diabetic eye disease often develops without early symptoms—which means blurred vision, floaters, retinal damage, or vision loss can happen before many people realize there’s a problem.

At ilumin Eye Care Center, patients with diabetes have access to advanced screening for conditions like:
✔ Diabetic retinopathy
✔ Diabetic macular edema
✔ Glaucoma
✔ Cataracts

Our team uses tools like dilated eye exams, OCT imaging, and retinal photography to catch changes early—when treatment can make the biggest difference. We also offer advanced treatment options including medication, laser treatment, and surgical care when needed.

If you have diabetes—even if your vision feels normal—protecting your eyesight should be part of your health routine. Learn more at link in comments!

No needles. No IV. No hospital. Both eyes, same day.

Dr. Brandon Menke, MD of ilumin Eye Care recently joined KETV to answer the cataract questions we hear every single week.

✔️ What is a cataract? (Think of an M&M that clouds as you age.)
✔️ When should you actually consider surgery? (Hint: you don't have to fail the driver's test.)
✔️ Is it painful? (Briefly, no. Topical drops + a pill to help you relax.)
✔️ How fast is recovery? (Most patients drive the very next day.)

Still relying on readers? Fighting glare at night? Noticing your distance vision isn't what it used to be? It might be time for a conversation.

You do not have to fail a vision test before you can do something about your cataracts.

That is what Dr. Brandon Menke of ilumin Eye Care Center in Omaha wants patients to know. Most people think cataract surgery is only for when things get really bad — glare, halos, failing the driver's license test. But the cloudy or hardening lens can be addressed at any point once your vision starts affecting your daily life. Struggling to read up close, difficulty with distance, reaching for readers constantly — all of those are reasons to have a conversation.

Superb staff with a friendly, helpful approach.

Most people have heard of cataracts. Fewer know what one actually is — until Dr. Menke explains it this way.

Imagine an M&M sitting in the middle of your eye.

When you're young it's perfectly clear.

Over time it yellows, hazes, and clouds.

That's a cataract — and it happens gradually enough that most people don't realize how much their vision has changed until a comprehensive exam makes it impossible to ignore.

The good news is that cataract surgery at ilumin in Omaha, NE is one of the most straightforward procedures in medicine. If you or someone you know has been told they have cataracts — or just wants to know where their eyes stand — a consultation is the first step.

No IV. No hospital stay. No needles near your eye.

If that surprises you when thinking about cataract surgery, you're not alone. Most people picture cataract surgery the way it was done decades ago. Dr. Brandon Menke of ilumin in Omaha sets the record straight on KETV — and what he describes is a lot easier than most people expect.

Numbing drops instead of needles. A pill to help you relax instead of an IV. Maybe a little pressure during the procedure, some scratchiness for a day or two afterward. That's the experience for most patients.

Both eyes are treated the same day. Most patients drive the next day. A lot are back to normal life within a few days to a week.

Modern cataract surgery takes just 10-20 minutes per eye using advanced phacoemulsification technique. Ultrasound energy breaks up the cloudy lens, which is removed through a small incision requiring no sutures. A new artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is then placed inside the eye.

ilumin offers advanced IOL options including toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for glasses independence, and the cutting-edge Light Adjustable Lens that allows patients to fine-tune vision after surgery.

You scheduled everyone else's appointments. When did you last schedule your own? 🤔📆

April is Women's Eye Health and Safety Month. Did you know women account for two-thirds of all blindness and vision impairment worldwide, and the biology behind that number starts shifting as early as your 40s?

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause directly affect tear production, dry eye, and the lens of the eye. Conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration build silently for years before a single symptom appears.

The only way to catch what you can't feel is a comprehensive eye exam.

At ilumin in Omaha, our board-certified ophthalmologists handle everything under one roof — dry eye treatment, glaucoma monitoring, cataract surgery, macular degeneration therapy, vision correction, eye exams and more.
