Diabetes can have a serious impact on your eye health, especially when blood sugar levels are not well controlled. Over time, diabetes can lead to diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and even glaucoma.

The challenge is that early diabetic eye disease often has no noticeable symptoms. That is why routine dilated eye exams are so important for protecting your vision and detecting changes early.

If you have diabetes and live in The Villages, schedule your comprehensive diabetic eye exam at St. Luke’s at The Villages today to help preserve your sight for years to come. 📞 352-200-2067

Can cataracts come back after cataract surgery? 👁️

Once a cataract is removed, it cannot grow back. However, some patients may develop a cloudy film behind the new lens called posterior capsule opacification, which can cause blurry vision months or years later. This is easily treated with a quick, painless YAG laser procedure.
