Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, occurs when high blood sugar damages blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss if untreated. Dr. Mark Henry provides comprehensive care to prevent and manage this condition. Regular eye exams are crucial for detecting diabetic retinopathy early, and Dr. Henry works closely with patients to monitor their condition and provide timely interventions. Protect your vision and manage your diabetes effectively with Dr. Henry’s expertise.
Diagnosing Diabetic Retinopathy
Early detection is the most important step in preventing vision loss. People with diabetes should receive a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. Although a gradual blurring of sight may indicate diabetic retinopathy, typically changes in the eye may go unnoticed until there is significant damage. The earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the more effective efforts will be at preserving your sight. During an eye exam at Southern Kentucky Eye Center, Dr. Henry will examine the interior of the eye with an ophthalmoscope. Photos of the interior of the eye may also be taken.
