November marks Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month

November marks Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month

Diabetes affects more than just blood sugar, it impacts nearly every system in the body, including your eyes. When blood sugar becomes elevated, the small blood vessels of the retina become weak or damaged, leading to diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and glaucoma.

Early detection and treatment is key to reduce the risk for significant vision loss and blindness that can occur from these changes.

The eye is the only place in the body where we can directly observe the effects of systemic disease in real time. A routine eye examination is one of the most important steps you can take to preserve eye health and prevent complications. At Davison Road Optical, we’re committed to helping every patient with diabetes protect their vision. Our team uses advanced retinal imaging in combination with a dilated retinal examination to evaluate the retina and detect the earliest signs of diabetic changes.

This November, schedule your annual diabetic eye exam at Davison Road optical. Our team provides compassionate care with the latest technology to prevent, monitor, and manage diabetic eye disease at every stage. Your vision matters, let’s protect it together.
