Diabetic Retinopathy Management
Don’t Let Diabetes Damage Your Vision
Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition that can irreversibly damage vision if left untreated. Fortunately, at Professional Family Eyecare, we have the cutting-edge technology and expertise to detect diabetic retinopathy and create a treatment plan tailored to your exact needs, helping ensure clear, comfortable vision for years to come.
What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when a person’s diabetes harms their vision by damaging the blood vessels around the retina, as well as the retina itself. About 1 in 4 people with diabetes develop diabetic retinopathy — that’s around 10 million people in the United States every year. Early intervention is important to help minimize ocular damage and vision loss. People living with diabetes are strongly encouraged to receive an annual eye exam, to ensure that their eyes’ condition hasn’t worsened.
