• Glaucoma
  Often called “the silent thief of sight,†glaucoma is an increase in the intraocular pressure of the eyes, which causes damage to the optic nerve with no signs or symptoms in the early stages of the disease. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to a decrease in peripheral vision and eventually blindness.
• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration is a chronic, progressive disease that gradually destroys sharp central vision due to a deterioration of the macula, a tiny spot in the central portion of your retina comprised of millions of light-sensing cells. Because it is so commonly associated with aging, it is also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). There are two forms of AMD called “dry,†most common and with no known treatment, and “wet,†less common and treated with laser procedures. Genetic testing is now available to help identify those most likely to develop “wet†macular degeneration.

• Eye Exam

Early detection and treatment of diabetic eye disease will dramatically reduce your chances of sustaining permanent vision loss.
