Diabetes
Do you have diabetes and are concerned about the
health of your eyes?
Dallas Eyes Now can help!
Having diabetes can raise the chances of developing eye
disorders as well as other severe ocular conditions.
Dallas Eyes Now’s recently updated
yearly diabetic eye exams involve the
use of state-of-the-art equipment to
provide optos retinal imaging and
optical coherence tomography.
Diabetic retinopathy may show no symptoms but can
actually lead to blindness.
This disease is caused by
damage to the blood vessels
in the back of your retina.
Open-angle glaucoma causes patchy blind spots in your eyes
and can result in tunnel vision in later stages of the disease.
Diabetic macular edema can develop if
diabetic retinopathy is not treated. When
your retina blood vessels swell, it can
cause the macula to swell with it which
can result in blindness.
The optometry experts will carefully check your eyes to
uncover any signs of disease or other issues you may be
unaware of.
A fundus camera will be utilized to
photograph the inside of your eye
in order to fully examine your optic
disc, macula, retina, and vascular
system.
Optical coherence tomography can be used to acquire cross-sectional images of
your retina. With the obtained images, the clinic’s experts will be able to determine
the health of your vascular system to detect diseases.
Lastly, visual field testing will be
conducted to determine how wide your
field of view is when focusing on a
single point. This testing is crucial for
finding blind spots.
