Diabetic Eyes Deserve Better Treatment
Specialized Eye Care For Diabetics
At Holly Springs Eye & Laser, Dr. Faraaz Khan provides comprehensive diabetic eye exams. As a board-certified eye doctor in Holly Springs, he wants to help people with diabetes keep their eyes healthy and their vision sharp for many years to come. Call today to schedule an appointment.
Why Does Diabetes Impact The Eyes?
Diabetic retinopathy is the medical term for eye damage caused by high blood sugars. When blood sugars are too high, it can damage the blood vessels in the back of the eye, known as the retina. As the blood vessels become damaged, they will swell and leak, which can lead to vision problems.
While diabetic retinopathy is a primary cause of blindness, there are ways to protect your vision. The best way to prevent blurriness and vision loss is to get regular eye exams and keep your blood glucose levels at healthy levels.
What Happens During A Diabetic Eye Exam?
The diabetic eye exam performed by Dr. Khan will go like this:
- He will talk to you about your concerns.
- Then, he will perform standard eye tests given during general eye exams.
- Next, he will use dilating eye drops to examine your retinas.
- Finally, he will discuss the results with you and create a treatment plan.
If you have diabetes, your eye health is essential, and we are on your team. During the entire process, Dr. Khan and his support staff will talk you through the assessments. We provide a welcoming, judgment-free environment and are instead focused on keeping your vision sharp.
Diabetic Eye Care
If you have diabetes, taking care of your eye health is incredibly vital. Diabetic eye disease impacts many people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and it's' a leading cause of blindness in the United States. For people with diabetes, it's necessary to see an ophthalmologist at least once a year for an exam.
