3.Diagnosis of Diabetic Eye Disease
If your doctor thinks you have diabetic eye problems, they’ll test your vision and measure the pressure in your eyes. Medicated eye drops will widen your pupils — the part of your eye that lets light in — so they can look at the back of your eye. The doctor might inject a dye into your arm. The dye can show any leakage in the small blood vessels of your eye. Your vision might be blurry for a few hours after the exam.
4.Early Treatment
Your doctor might suggest more frequent eye checkups to make sure your condition doesn’t get worse. The only treatment at this point might be diabetes management. Typically, you’ll keep track of and try to control your blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Prescription medication, exercise, eating better, and quitting smoking can help.
