One of the benefits of having a regular eye exam is that your eye doctor can detect any changes in the blood vessels at the back of your eyes, which could be indicative of diabetes. At Astorino Eye Center we are proud to have both an optometrist and ophthalmologist working together to take care of your eyes.
Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the US. It consumes four of every health care dollars and impacts over 100 million Americans. Campaigns to address diet, activity and lifestyle choices have minimal impact. While many people live unaware they have the condition, others deal with the shame and blame associated with Type 2 diabetes.
It’s especially crucial for people with diabetes to get their eyes examined regularly, as they can develop diabetic retinopathy, a condition where the blood vessels in your retina become damaged.
If you haven’t had an eye exam in the past year, give us a call and we’ll take care of the rest! 949-645-2250
