McFarland Eye Care is skilled in treating issues when it comes to diabetes. One of the greatest threats to eye health is Diabetic Retinopathy. If you are a diabetic, you may be experiencing symptoms from this and not even be aware. This is why it is incredibly important to maintain regularly scheduled eye exams.
When left unmonitored or untreated, high blood sugar levels can damage tiny blood vessels in the eye and cause irreparable damage. This condition is called Diabetic Retinopathy. One of the first symptoms of this may include blurred vision, among many others.
Did you know the longer a person has diabetes, the greater their chances are of developing diabetic retinopathy?

The good thing is we can help to treat this and we can help to catch it early before your symptoms worsen.
