November is Diabetes Awareness Month, a perfect time to complete your annual diabetes eye test! At Network Eye, our simple 5-minute test can provide you with valuable information regarding the health of your eyes.
Many people living with diabetes don’t know their eyes can be affected by the disease. But diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss among working-aged adults. An annual diabetic eye exam can help detect any changes in your eye due to diabetes and can help prevent any potential for vision loss.
At Network Eye, we make it easy to complete your annual diabetic eye exam. The test takes about 5 minutes, and you receive your results instantly in the office.
Many people dislike the “puff of air” or eye dilation that often accompanies going to see the eye doctor. With our diabetic eye test, there is no puff or air or dilation necessary. We use an FDA-approved device to take four pictures of your eye. From these pictures, our technology produces results and tell us if there are changes in your retina that need further monitoring or treatment.
We understand how busy life can get. At Network Eye we offer flexible scheduling options, with appointments Monday through Saturday to complete your diabetic eye test.
Take control of your eye health this November! Call or text our office today to see if you qualify to schedule.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
