Our optometrist doesn't just treat nearsightedness and farsightedness. Eye exams may be given to ensure people see optimally. However, our optometrists also see patients who have diabetic eye disease.
What Is Diabetic Eye Disease?
Diabetic eye disease is a group of conditions that are specific to patients with diabetes. Diabetes causes damage to the blood vessels in the eyes, especially in patients who didn't always have their diabetes under control. Some examples of conditions that fall into this categorization include glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular edema (DME).

The cornea is imperative to our vision. This thin, transparent dome covers the front of our eyes to protect them. It is also responsible for refracting the light that enters our eyes, focusing it onto the retina where it is transmitted to the brain, which then tells us what we can see. If there are problems with the cornea, it can significantly affect our vision. One corneal problem that is fairly common is known as keratoconus.
Fortunately, our professional eye care team has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of keratoconus, meaning that we can offer you the help that you need to see clearly again.
Exactly what treatment you will be offered for keratoconus will depend on the severity of the condition. Some of the treatments that our team may recommend may include the following:
