Patients who have diabetes are very susceptible to other types of health problems. Diabetes affects other parts of the body like the eyes. Diabetic retinopathy is a disease that diabetes patients need to be evaluated by a professional eye doctor at a quality
Weehawken diabetic eye care. Diabetic retinopathy can be detected through a dilated eye exam.
Our
Weehawken diabetic eye care practice provides eye exams that assess for not only refraction errors but also for eye diseases and conditions. Diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts are some diseases and conditions that can be detected during a thorough eye exam at Palisade Eye. These regular eye exams are very valuable tools in maintaining good eye health by detecting and helping to prevent diseases in patients of all ages. The comprehensive eye exam usually includes but isn’t limited to: a slit lamp test, a dilated eye exam, refraction for eyeglasses and contact lenses and a glaucoma pressure testing. There are many eye diseases and conditions that present with no signs early on. The only way to detect them early is by getting a thorough eye exam done by a professional eye doctor like ours at Palisade Eye.
