Diabetic Eye Disease (Retinopathy)

Offices in Oklahoma City

Diabetic Retinopathy, a complication of diabetes caused by changes in the blood vessels of the eye, is the leading cause of new blindness among adults in the US.

There is no cure for diabetes or diabetic retinopathy, but laser treatment is usually very successful if performed early enough.

The eye specialists at BVA suggest that people with diabetes who are having problems with their vision should be examined as soon as possible, so that any necessary treatment can be applied.

People treated for diabetic retinopathy should have their eyes checked frequently to monitor the progression of their condition.

Native Americans and African Americans are at higher risk for developing diabetes, as are people with a family history of diabetes.
