Q:

Diabetes And The Importance Of Regular Eye Exams

A:

Once you have been diagnosed as having diabetes, you need to get regular eye exams. You may not realize when you have eye disease, your vision can be 20/20, even though there’s bleeding in the back of the eye.

Only your eye doctor can look inside that eye and tell you that you’re having a problem. Whether it is by looking, or by doing tests such as optical optical coherence tomography or photographs, the doctor needs to look inside your eyes to be able to tell if you have a problem.

There is laser that is done around the edges of the eye, and what you can expect is that you’ll put in a machine called a slit lamp—very much the same as the machine you have your eyes examined in. So something that’s familiar to most people if they’ve had an eye exam.
