Diabetic Eye Exams in Lake Bluff

A diabetic eye exam is a specialized exam designed to detect eye complications related to diabetes. High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy and other vision-threatening conditions. During the exam, your optometrist carefully examines the retina and optic nerve for early signs of damage, swelling, or abnormal blood vessels.

These exams are essential for monitoring eye health and preventing vision loss in patients with diabetes.

Diabetic eye disease often develops without early symptoms, making regular exams critical. Early detection allows for timely treatment that can slow or prevent vision loss. Routine monitoring helps preserve eyesight and reduces the risk of severe complications. For patients with diabetes, consistent eye care is a key part of maintaining long-term health.
