At Catalina Eye Care, we recognize the critical importance of specialized eye care for our patients with diabetes. Diabetic individuals face a higher risk of eye conditions like retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma — often with no early warning signs. That’s why we advocate for and provide comprehensive diabetic eye exams to detect and manage these conditions before they progress.
Focused Eye and Vision Care for Diabetic Patients:
Take charge of your diabetic eye health. Schedule your comprehensive diabetic eye exam with us today.
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina — often without any early warning signs. Annual comprehensive eye exams allow us to detect diabetic eye disease in its earliest, most treatable stages before permanent vision loss occurs.
People with diabetes face a higher risk of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. All of these conditions are manageable when caught early through routine monitoring.
A diabetic eye exam includes a dilated retinal evaluation, which allows our specialists to closely examine the health of the blood vessels in your retina and macula. We also check intraocular pressure and overall visual function.
Yes. When identified early, diabetic retinopathy and macular edema can often be treated effectively with laser therapy, injections, or other targeted interventions to prevent further vision loss.
The American Diabetes Association recommends at least one comprehensive dilated eye exam per year for people with diabetes. Depending on your level of retinal involvement, more frequent visits may be recommended.
EVO ICL is an advanced vision correction procedure designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, EVO ICL works by placing a tiny, biocompatible lens inside the eye to correct vision.
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is an advanced intraocular lens used during cataract surgery that allows your vision to be customized after your procedure. Unlike traditional lens implants that have a fixed prescription, the Light Adjustable Lens can be precisely adjusted using specialized light treatments after your eye has healed.
