Screening for diabetic eye disease has saved many people from developing poor vision or even going blind.
A complete exam by an ophthalmologist or optometrist can detect early eye damage. Because diabetic eye disease doesn’t usually have noticeable symptoms until it has become severe, it’s important to have an annual eye exam.
To help your primary care physician keep your diabetes plan of care current, make sure your eye doctor shares a copy of your test results. Ask your eye doctor to share the results of your eye exam with your PCP within two weeks of your exam. That helps make sure you get the right care at the right time.
If your doctor hasn’t talked to you about having an eye exam, make sure to ask about one at your next visit.
