Diabetic Eye Disease Management

Diabetic eye disease management in optometry involves regular eye examinations for individuals with diabetes to detect issues early, such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, or glaucoma. Optometrists assess changes in the retina and vision, provide education on controlling blood sugar levels, and recommend lifestyle changes. If necessary, they refer patients to specialists for further treatment. Early detection and ongoing monitoring are crucial to prevent vision loss and maintain overall eye health in people with diabetes.
