Diabetic Retinopathy screenings detect a wide range of eye disorders.

A1C and Diabetic Urinalysis: These tests help monitor important renal function levels in diabetic patients.

Ankle-brachial Index Test: Checks for peripheral artery disease, a risk facotr for patients with diabetes.

Diabetic Retinopathy Screening: Because direct opthamologic screening is not always accessible, the fundus photographic screening we provide may help increase the chances that an at-risk individual will be prompted for more detailed evaluation and management if problems are detected.

Patients are eligible for a Diabetic Retinopathy exam if she/he has a documented history of diabetes mellitus:
Type 1, Type 2, Pre-diabetic, or Gestational and has not had a previous retinopathy exam within the past year.

Eye problems caused by diabetes are called diabetic retinopathy. This can lead to sight loss if it’s not found early, however the eye screening test can find problems before they affect your sight. Pictures are taken of the back of your eyes to check for any changes. If you have diabetes and are 12 years or older, it is recommended that you have your eyes checked at least once a year.
