Diabetic Retinopathy

At the office of Drs. Chandler & Davis, we utilize state-of-the-art approaches to improve the health of your eyes and vision. Your ocular health is an important component of your overall health and well-being. When you visit our optometry office, you can rest assured that we are well equipped to meet your full range of needs. Conditions such as diabetes can increase your risk of vision loss, but with comprehensive eye examinations, we can diagnose diabetic retinopathy early on and recommend an appropriate course of treatment.

Diabetic retinopathy refers to a type of vision loss in people diagnosed with diabetes; this condition occurs when blood sugar levels rise and damage the retinal blood vessels inside of the eye. The onset of this condition may not present with any symptoms at first, which is why periodic eye examinations are of the utmost importance. As the condition progresses, your vision may become blurry or large floaters may appear in your field of view. When you visit our optometry office, we can thoroughly examine the anatomy of the retina using digital photography that allows for an extremely magnified view of the back of the eye. If our optometrist discovers that diabetic retinopathy is present, we may refer you to a retinal specialist for further testing to determine the extent of it. Prevention is key when it comes to this condition, and it is important to talk to your primary care doctor about how to best manage blood sugar levels to keep your eyes healthy. Throughout your course of care, our team of professionals keeps you informed and at ease, addressing any questions you may have. We keep pace with the most advanced technology and treatment methods to help you enjoy optimal ocular health and vision.
