Avoiding Vision Problems for Diabetic Patients

Diabetes can lead to eye disease. About 1 in 4 people who suffer from diabetes will develop from some form of diabetic retinopathy, and 5% of these people suffer a severe form of the disease. It is the leading cause of blindness for people aged 20 to 64. Speaking with a qualified eye doctor in Dallas is the best way to ensure that you have the help and answers you need.

What Is Diabetic Retinopathy & What Causes the Condition?

Diabetic retinopathy is when the blood vessels behind the eye change whether because the vessels fluid, weaken, or abnormal vessels grow and potentially hemorrhage. Laser treatments can effectively treat proliferative retinopathy by reducing abnormal blood vessels. If you suffer from diabetes, scheduling regular exams with our Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex eye doctors is very important. Laser treatments are most effective when the condition is caught early. Severe advancement of the disease may require a vitrectomy.

By scheduling fully dilated eye treatments with our doctors at Key-Whitman Eye Center every year, you’ll go a long way toward protecting your eye health.
