If you suffer from diabetes, it can lead to a wide range of eye issues in future. For this reason, it’s important you seek regular eye checkups to ensure your vision and health is good.
A new diabetic eye exam service has been announced by Dallas Eyes Now. The Dallas, Texas optometrists offer full eye health care services for your whole family. Diabetes can cause diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to permanent vision damage, so it’s important to seek expert consultation.
Dallas Eyes Now is a veteran-owned and operated optometrist practice serving the Dallas Fort Worth area of Texas. They provide your whole family with eye care services such as eye exams and glasses and contact lens fittings.
One of their services is a specialist eye exam for diabetic patients. Dallas Eyes Now explains that diabetes is a life-changing diagnosis that not only affects overall health, but it also affects eye health by raising the risk of developing eye diseases and other ocular conditions.
It is recommended that diabetic patients have their eyes examined on an annual basis. These exams can look out for problems such as diabetic retinopathy, open angle glaucoma, diabetic macular edema and cataracts.
During the diabetic eye exam, Dallas Eyes Now will thoroughly check the eyes for signs of problems using the latest techniques and technology. For example fundus photography takes detailed color photographs of the inside of the eye to allow the optic disc, macula, retina and vascular system to be examined.
They also use optical coherence tomography to assess vascular health and to look for signs of diabetic retinopathy and DME. Visual field testing is a further test to determine how wide a patients field of view is, helping to determine if eye disease has caused any blind spots.
Dallas Eyes Now also offer speciality eye care services including dry eye therapy, myopia control, laser eye surgery, cataract surgery comanagement, digital eye strain, eye disease diagnosis and management and emergency eye care.
