Early detection would be better to get timely treatment and shall be made available at the Bethpage Farmingdale center.

Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness, and diabetes can cause damage to the small vessels in the retina. Dr. Ronald Fagan, a diabetic eye exam doctor at LI Medical Group, explained, " These examinations are necessary once a year to catch the changes before they become a severe problem relating to one's vision."

"Regular examination is very much required for early detection and prevention of serious eye problems," Dr. Fagan said, adding that "the routine screening will protect your eyesight against diabetes-related damages."

Early Detection Saves Vision

The diabetic eye screening performed at LI Medical Group is well beyond a simple eye examination. Complete dilated eye examination with advanced diagnostic equipment, including ophthalmoscopes and slit lamps, will be used to properly inspect the retina.

Further stages, even with fluorescent dye, are necessary to ensure that any hidden condition is not left undetected. Other eye conditions, such as glaucoma and cataracts, will also be checked during the examination.

Who can get this test done?

This annual examination is recommended for patients of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes due to symptoms like-

• blurred vision,
• floaters, or
• difficulties in focusing.

Early diagnosis and timely intervention are critical steps in preventing irreversible damage.
