Diabetic Eye Exams & Retinal Evaluations in Mays Landing, NJ
If you have diabetes, regular eye exams are essential for preserving your sight. At the office of Dr. Karen J. Solofsky, Optometrist, we provide detailed diabetic eye exams and retinal evaluations to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy and other complications before they impact your vision.
Why Diabetic Eye Exams Are Important
Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of vision loss in adults. Early stages often have no symptoms, which is why regular screenings are so critical. Timely diagnosis allows for more effective management and treatment.
What to Expect During Your Exam
Dr. Solofsky uses advanced retinal imaging and diagnostic technology to examine the back of the eye in detail. Your diabetic eye exam may include:
- Dilation to widen the pupils for a better view of the retina
- Retinal imaging and photography
- Intraocular pressure measurement
- Evaluation of the optic nerve and blood vessels
- Documentation for your primary care physician or endocrinologist
