Did you know diabetes can affect your eyesight?
March is Save Your Vision Month, and this week we're shining a light on diabetic eye health. For the millions of Americans living with diabetes, protecting your vision starts with understanding the risks.
Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in the retina over time, leading to a condition called diabetic retinopathy. one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults. The tricky part? In its early stages, there are often no symptoms at all. Vision may not be affected until the disease has already progressed.
The best defense is a regular, dilated retina exam. This allows our doctors to closely examine the back of your eye and detect any changes before they become serious.
At Nielsen Eye Center, our team is experienced in monitoring and managing diabetic eye disease, helping patients with diabetes stay one step ahead and protect the vision they have.
If you have diabetes, don't skip your annual eye exam. Early detection can make all the difference. Schedule your dilated retina exam today.
