Diabetic eye testing in Skokie

Skokie eye exam

Are you due for a Skokie eye exam? While we believe eye exams are important for all patients here at Visual Eyes, they are especially important for patients with diabetes. Diabetes can have serious effects on various parts of your body, including your eyes. People with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing serious eye conditions including diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, glaucoma, and more. These conditions can have serious effects on your vision, including major vision loss. Keeping your blood sugar levels under control is crucial when it comes to preventing these additional health problems from occurring, but another important step to take is to remember to schedule a Skokie eye exam here at Visual Eyes on a regular basis, and to schedule a diabetic eye exam specifically. During each Skokie eye exam, and especially during a diabetic eye exam, the experts here at Visual Eyes will use specific testing techniques in order to not only get a basic evaluation of your eye health and vision quality, but also to check for warning signs that are especially important to patients with diabetes. By keeping up with these eye exams on a regular basis, you are taking the responsibility necessary to encourage early diagnoses of any eye problems that might arise. An early diagnosis can make a big difference in your treatment options and your prognosis.
