We understand the importance of proactive eye care for individuals with diabetes. Our specialized diabetic eye checks, also known as diabetic retinopathy screenings, are designed to detect and manage diabetic retinopathy, a common complication of diabetes that can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
Comprehensive Eye Examination:
Our experienced optometrists conduct thorough and comprehensive eye examinations specifically tailored for individuals with diabetes. These examinations go beyond routine eye tests and focus on evaluating the health of the retina and blood vessels.
Dilated Eye Examination:
During a diabetic eye check, we administer eye drops to dilate the pupils, enabling a detailed examination of the retina. Our skilled professionals use advanced instruments and specialized techniques to carefully assess the retina, blood vessels, and other vital structures at the back of the eye. This thorough evaluation allows us to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy, such as leaking blood vessels, swelling, or abnormal growth of new blood vessels.
Fundus Photography and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):
In certain cases, we may utilize advanced imaging technologies such as fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Fundus photography captures high-resolution images of the retina, serving as a valuable reference for monitoring changes over time. OCT produces detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, helping us identify subtle changes and fluid accumulation.
Individualized Treatment Plans:
If signs of diabetic retinopathy are detected during the eye check, our dedicated team will develop an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs. We will guide you through the available treatment options and, if necessary, coordinate referrals to retinal specialists or ophthalmologists for further evaluation and specialized care.
Regular Monitoring:
We emphasize the importance of regular monitoring for individuals with diabetes. Depending on your unique circumstances, we will recommend an appropriate schedule for follow-up diabetic eye checks to ensure early detection and timely management of diabetic retinopathy. Our goal is to preserve your vision and optimize your eye health through ongoing care and monitoring.
