FAQs
How often should I get a diabetic eye exam?
Most guidelines recommend a comprehensive diabetic eye exam at least once per year. However, your optometrist might suggest more frequent visits based on your eye health and diabetes control.
What happens during a diabetic eye exam?
The exam includes dilating your pupils to thoroughly inspect the retina and blood vessels for signs of damage. We may also use imaging tests like OCT (optical coherence tomography) for detailed views of your eye’s structure.
Can diabetic eye disease be treated?
Yes. Early-stage diabetic retinopathy can often be managed with better blood sugar control and regular monitoring. Advanced cases might require laser therapy, injections, or surgery — and that’s why early detection is so important.
Are diabetic eye exams covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover diabetic eye exams since they are essential preventive care. Our staff can help verify your benefits when you schedule your visit.
Can I bring my children with me to the exam?
We welcome patients of all ages, but for your comfort and focus during the exam, it’s best to arrange childcare if possible.
