Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment in Bakersfield, CA

Diabetes and Associated Eye Diseases

Diabetes can have a major impact on your eyes and can lead to vision-threatening diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. Diabetic retinopathy is especially serious and occurs when an increase in blood sugar creates faulty blood vessels in the back of the eye. These vessels can then swell and leak near or onto the retina — the part of your eye that sends the images you see to your brain. Addressing diabetic retinopathy early on is key, because by the time noticeable symptoms occur, permanent vision loss may already have happened.

Did You Know That Routine Eye Exams Can Help You Detect Diabetes Earlier?

During our comprehensive eye exams, we use our Optos Ultra-widefield® retinal imager to get an in-depth and accurate look at your blood vessels in your eyes. As diabetes starts to develop, these blood vessels are one of the first things that are affected, so looking at their condition can help us diagnose the disease early — even before your general practitioner could!
