If you’re living with diabetes, regular eye exams are an important part of caring for your overall health. High blood sugar can affect the small blood vessels in your eyes and increase your risk of eye diseases.
These eye conditions generally don’t have early symptoms, so early detection is key. We recommend that patients with diabetes have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year. Based on your specific needs, we may recommend a more frequent exam schedule.
At Envision Eye Care, we take the time to understand your unique vision needs and will always care for you compassionately. Book your diabetic eye exam with us today.

Diabetes increases the risk of developing eye conditions like diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema (loss of central vision). These conditions can cause vision changes, but they can be monitored and managed when caught early.
We will perform a dilated eye exam, which allows us to see more of the internal structures of your eyes and better detect any changes from diabetic eye diseases often before they cause symptoms.
Managing your blood sugar is one of the best ways to avoid vision issues related to diabetes.
We use noninvasive imaging tools during our diabetic eye exams to get a clear view of your eye health—comfortably and safely. Our technology allows us to monitor your eye health and any changes.
These tools help us catch changes early—before they affect your sight.
Regular diabetic eye exams help you stay ahead of vision changes and support your long-term health. Whether you’re managing diabetes now or are newly diagnosed, we’re here to help.
