Diabetic Eye Exams
Specialized care to detect and monitor diabetes-related eye conditions.
If you have diabetes, protecting your vision is critical. At Hopkinton Vision Center, we provide comprehensive diabetic eye exams to detect and monitor diabetes-related eye conditions before they cause vision loss.
Why Diabetic Eye Exams Are Essential
Diabetes can cause several serious eye conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. Many of these conditions have no early warning signs, making regular comprehensive eye exams essential for early detection and treatment.
What We Check For
- Diabetic retinopathy (damage to blood vessels in the retina)
- Diabetic macular edema (swelling in the macula)
- Glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye)
- Cataracts (clouding of the eye's lens)
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
We use advanced imaging technology to get a detailed view of your retina and detect even subtle changes that may indicate diabetic eye disease. Early detection allows for timely treatment and can help preserve your vision.
How Often Should You Have an Exam?
If you have diabetes, we recommend having a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year. However, if diabetic eye disease is detected, more frequent exams may be necessary to monitor your condition.
