  Resulting as a complication of diabetes, diabetic retinopathy occurs when there is damage to blood vessels in the back of the eye. Despite being one of the leading causes of blindness in the U.S., diabetic retinopathy often shows no symptoms in the early stages of the condition. It’s important for diabetic patients to have regular annual eye exams in order to detect, prevent and treat diabetic retinopathy as early as possible. Diabetics should take extra care to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, pay attention to any changes in vision, and habitually see an ophthalmologist every year. Our Salt Lake City eye doctors here at The Eye Institute of Utah regularly perform diabetic eye exams and help work with patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy to preserve sight and monitor their disease.
