Diabetic eye disease is one of the leading cause of blindness in the world among working-age adults. Diabetes can cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina, which is the part of the eye responsible for capturing images and sending them to the brain. This damage, known as diabetic retinopathy, can cause blood vessels to leak or grow abnormally, which can lead to vision loss or even blindness if left untreated.

At Chan & Chan Eye Clinic, we use the latest technology to provide the most accurate and comprehensive diabetic eye exams possible. During the exams, our optometrists will examine the retina and other structures of the eye using retinal photography technology to check for any signs of diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions that may be related to diabetes.

It's important to note that diabetic eye disease often has no symptoms in its early stages, so regular eye exams are crucial for detecting and treating any issues before they progress. If we do find signs of diabetic retinopathy, our team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to help protect and monitor your eyesight and prevent further damage. That's why it's so important for individuals with diabetes to receive annual diabetic eye checks.

If you have diabetes, don't wait until you experience vision problems to schedule your annual diabetic eye check. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and take an important step towards protecting your vision for years to come.
