According to surveys, 7,685,237 people in USA aged 40 and older suffer from Diabetic
Retinopathy. Diabetic Retinopathy or Diabetic Eye Disease is an ailment of the small blood vessels of the retina of the eye in people with diabetes. The vessels swell and leak liquid into the retina or abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. This results in blurred vision and may lead to blindness.
Vista Eye Specialists recommend yearly eye exams to investigate if you suffer
from Diabetic Eye Disease. People with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are susceptible
to developing Diabetic Retinopathy. Adolescents experiencing puberty, pregnant
women with diabetes, female diabetics who wish to conceive are urged to undergo a
comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year. At Vista Eye Specialists, Dr. Jani and his team of ophthalmologists will help identify and treat the Diabetic Eye disease in its early stage.
The specialists at Vista Eye will tell you in your annual eye exams to monitor your blood glucose level as well as blood pressure and make sure they stay in the normal range as these are causes which may lead to the development of Diabetic Retinopathy.
