Why annual eye exams matter for people with diabetes

Annual eye exams help detect problems early—even before symptoms appear.

Even if your vision seems great, an eye exam helps keep it that way. According to the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes should have regular, comprehensive eye exams to screen for diabetes-related eye disease.

At Winona Health Eye Care Center, our optometrists provide comprehensive dilated eye exams that go beyond checking your vision. These exams allow us to evaluate the overall health of your eyes and screen for conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, which can develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages.

Diabetes increases the risk of several eye conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts. Left undetected, these conditions can lead to vision loss. Regular eye exams are one of the most effective ways to detect changes early—when treatment is most effective.

The good news? When identified early, most diabetes-related eye conditions can be managed or treated to help protect your vision. Even better, most annual eye exams are covered by insurance as preventive care.

Whether your vision feels “just fine” or you’ve noticed changes, our eye care team is here to support this important part of your diabetes care.
