Navigating Your Unique Visual Needs
Diabetes can be a complicated condition to manage that not only affects your blood sugar but your vision as well.
At Danville Optometric Group, we offer diabetic eye examinations to help patients navigate diabetes-related visual issues. Our team uses diagnostic technology to thoroughly examine how diabetes is linked to vision loss in our patients.
We believe in keeping our patients informed and involved throughout the exam process. Contact us to schedule your diabetic eye exam today.
The Link Between Diabetes & Your Vision
Many patients assume diabetes has nothing to do with your vision. However, diabetes can increase the risk of developing vision issues such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia, glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy is the primary vision care concern for patients with diabetes. This form of eye disease is also the most common cause of preventable blindness in the United States. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when blood vessels in the retina become damaged.
A diabetic eye exam can help our team diagnose diabetes-related and potential vision-threatening issues to recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Our Diagnostic Tools
At Danville Optometric Group, we use diagnostic technology to get a clear, detailed image of your eyes to assist with early detection and treatment. Consistent eye exams allow our team to monitor potential vision-threatening changes over time.
Fundus Photography
Fundus photography is a diagnostic method that records and receives color images of the interior surfaces of the eye. This detailed imaging allows your optometrist to monitor developing vision issues and their development over time.
Fundus photography is used to view the effects of diabetic retinopathy on your eyes and vision.
Ocular Coherence Tomography
OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography) scans provide your optometrist with detailed images of the layers in your vitreous and retina. We use the latest Essilor OCT 500 which allows for early detection of diseases, such as diabetes, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound is a diagnostic procedure that helps our team test for abnormalities in the eye. This test can help diagnose disorders in the eye and give our team a clearer image.
Anesthetic drops may be used to numb the eye and minimize discomfort.
