Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision loss in people with diabetes. It occurs when high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. In its early stages, it often has no symptoms, making annual comprehensive dilated eye exams essential for early detection.
When diagnosed early, diabetic retinopathy can often be treated before significant vision loss occurs. Along with regular eye exams, managing your blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and overall health can help prevent or slow the progression of the disease.
If you have diabetes, don't wait for vision changes. Schedule your annual dilated eye exam to help protect your sight and preserve your vision for years to come.
Hypertensive retinopathy is damage to the blood vessels of the retina resulting from long-term high blood pressure. It often develops without symptoms and vision changes may not occur until the condition is advanced.
Regular comprehensive dilated eye exams are essential for early detection, often identifying retinal damage before symptoms appear. Early diagnosis, combined with good blood pressure control through healthy lifestyle habits and prescribed medications, can help protect your vision and reduce the risk of permanent eye damage.
If you have high blood pressure, annual eye exams are an important part of maintaining both your eye health and your overall health.
