Diabetic Retinopathy

Protect your vision from diabetes! Diabetic Retinopathy is a serious condition that can lead to blindness, but early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent it. If you or someone you love has type 1 or 2 diabetes, learn about the risks and get tested for Diabetic Retinopathy. It's the only way to make sure your eyes stay healthy and protected.

Diabetic retinopathy occurs when the eye develops abnormal blood vessels in response to elevated sugar levels. These vessels can leak causing damage to the retina. Diabetics should have a yearly examination to rule out this condition. Early treatment can prevent serious vision loss. We coordinate with your primary care practitioner to make sure you are receiving the best diabetic care.
