Diabetic Eye Exam

Diabetes affects the entire body, and the eyes are often one of the first places where changes become visible. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss in working age adults, occurring when high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina over time. In its early stages it causes no pain and no noticeable symptoms, which is why regular diabetic eye exams are so critical for anyone living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Other conditions including diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma are also significantly more common in diabetic patients and require close monitoring to catch before they cause irreversible damage.

At Bespoke Eye Care, we perform comprehensive diabetic eye evaluations using advanced retinal imaging and optical coherence tomography to detect even the earliest signs of diabetic eye disease. We document and track changes over time, adjust the frequency of your monitoring based on your risk level, and communicate our findings directly with your primary care physician or endocrinologist to support your overall diabetes management. Protecting your vision starts with staying ahead of the disease, and we are here to make sure you never fall behind.
