Diabetes can cause retinal damage, called Diabetic Retinopathy.
Fortunately, 95% of the diabetic retinopathy cases can be prevented.
Diabetic eye disease is a group of eye problems that can affect people with diabetes.
These conditions include;
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Diabetic macular edema
- Cataracts and
- Glaucoma
Overtime, diabetes can damage your eyes, leading to irreversible vision loss and even blindness.
Even if you have no symptoms, you could still have eye damage.
You can take steps to prevent the development of diabetic eye disease—or keep it from progressing—by getting regular retinal eye exams and by controlling your blood sugar levels.
At Rehoboth Vision Care, we offer an array of treatments depending on the stage and severity of the disease.
Regardless of the treatment, early detection is key and gives you the best prognosis for maintaining your vision!
