Diabetic Eye Care

Diabetic eye care focuses on preventing and managing eye conditions that can result from high blood sugar levels, particularly damage to the blood vessels in the retina. Known as diabetic retinopathy, this condition is one of the leading causes of vision loss in people with diabetes. At Revere Health, we provide specialized eye care for diabetic patients to help protect vision and prevent complications by offering regular screenings and comprehensive management of eye health.

Why Diabetic Eye Care is Important
High blood sugar levels over time can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to conditions such as:

Diabetic Retinopathy: The most common eye complication in diabetic patients, which can lead to vision loss if untreated.
Macular Edema: Swelling in the part of the retina responsible for sharp vision.
Cataracts: Diabetes increases the risk of cataracts, which cause clouding of the eye’s lens.
Glaucoma: Diabetic patients are at a higher risk of developing glaucoma, which damages the optic nerve.

Key Elements of Diabetic Eye Care
Regular Eye Exams: Annual dilated eye exams are essential for detecting diabetic retinopathy and other complications early, before significant vision loss occurs.
Blood Sugar Control: Proper management of blood sugar levels helps reduce the risk of damage to the blood vessels in the eyes.
Treatment of Eye Conditions: If diabetic retinopathy or other conditions are detected, treatments may include laser surgery, medication, or injections to manage the progression of the disease and preserve vision.
