Your Eyes Deserve Extra Care When You Have Diabetes

If you have diabetes, your eyes need regular attention. Diabetes doesn’t just affect your blood sugar—it can silently damage the delicate blood vessels in your eyes, leading to a serious condition called diabetic retinopathy. At MEGA EYE CARE CLINIC AND OPTICALS, we offer thorough Diabetic Retinopathy Screening to catch early signs of damage before your vision is affected.

What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?

Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes-related eye disease that occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina—the part of your eye that helps you see. In its early stages, it may not cause any symptoms, but as it progresses, it can lead to blurry vision, dark spots, floaters, or even permanent blindness.

The risk increases the longer you have diabetes and if your blood sugar is not well-controlled.

Why Is Screening So Important?

Early diabetic retinopathy often has no symptoms. That’s why regular eye exams are essential for anyone living with diabetes—even if your vision seems fine. Detecting changes early means we can start treatment sooner and prevent serious vision loss.

What to Expect During the Screening

Our screening includes:

• Detailed retinal examination

• Digital retinal imaging to capture detailed pictures of the back of your eye

• Assessment of retinal blood vessels for leakage, swelling, or abnormal growths

• Eye pressure testing to check for additional risks like glaucoma

All tests are quick, painless, and done in a comfortable environment.
