DIABETES AND YOUR EYES
Many people know that diabetes impacts overall health, but they aren’t aware of its ocular impacts. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in Canada. People with diabetes have an increased risk of visual decline from bleeding or swelling of the retina called diabetic retinopathy. They are also more likely to develop cataracts and glaucoma. Let us help you preserve your sight - book your diabetic eye exam today!
DIABETES MANAGEMENT
We recommend that people with diabetes should schedule an eye exam yearly and retinal imaging is imperative. Sometimes, patients come for a routine exam without knowing they are diabetic. This gives optometrists a unique role to be the first to detect signs of the disease and assist in their diagnosis. When ocular diabetes is caught early, it is much easier to treat resulting in a better prognosis. Schedule your Diebetic vision exam today.
OCULAR SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES
Not all patients with diabetes in the eyes show symptoms. Blurry vision in the centre, fluctuating vision, and a large red floater are only just a few symptoms present in more advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy. Symptoms of diabetes may be hard to distinguish from symptoms of other disorders. This is why it’s so important to have an optometrist assess your retina for a proper diagnosis!
