DIABETIC EYE CARE

When we examine your eyes, early signs of diabetic retinopathy will show. In order to determine the extent of underlying retinal & vascular changes, we will photograph the retina and/or use the HRTII, a scanning laser tomographer, to measure and monitor changes over time of the extent of central retinal swelling and retinal damage from the retinopathy. All these changes will also give us an idea of the effectiveness of your diabetic medication and enable us to work with your primary care physician to improve your diabetic care on a microscopic level.

EARLY DETECTION

Fortunately both macular edema and peripheral retinopathy can be treated with laser surgery. And for those who develop retinal detachment, prompt treatment with various surgical procedures can prevent further vision loss.
