It is recommended that individuals with diabetes schedule a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. Diabetes can increase the risk of eye conditions like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts, which often develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and effective management of these conditions, helping to preserve your vision and overall eye health.

If you experience any sudden changes in vision, such as blurriness, floaters, or difficulty seeing, it’s important to schedule an appointment immediately.
