Offering Treatment and Diagnosis for Diabetic Eye Disease

The most common form of diabetic eye disease is called diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is a change in the blood vessels in your retina. In some cases, your retinal blood vessels may swell and leak, while in others, blood vessels will grow on the surface of your retina. Usually, diabetic retinopathy will affect both eyes. Both types of the disease cause severe vision loss and sometimes "floaters" in your vision. A skilled ophthalmologist can detect diabetic eye disease such as diabetic retinopathy with a comprehensive eye exam. At Queen City Ophthalmology, we want your vision to be as straightforward as possible, so if you have diabetes, schedule a regular appointment with our team of experts.
