Comprehensive Dilated Eye Examinations for Diabetics

Annual medical comprehensive dilated eye examinations are an important part of the overall health care plan for all diabetic patients. At Family Eye Care Center, we can diagnose and help manage Diabetic Eye Disease in its early stages.

Diabetic Eye Disease is a dangerous condition which can include Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataracts, Edema, Glaucoma, and/or Diabetic Macular Edema. Uncontrolled Diabetic Eye Disease presents a serious risk to eyesight.

Medical Concerns to Vision & Eye Health

Eye Injury – Eye Pain – Eye Infection – Vision Loss

Our medical exams are “medical problem-driven” exams. These exams are performed to address specific medical-based concerns to vision and/or eye health. They may be used to detect, diagnose, treat, and manage diseases and disorders of the eye, help manage eye-related manifestations of various health conditions, or provide urgent intervention to help preserve sight and/or eye health.
