Diabetic Eye Disease Management:
Safeguarding Your Vision from Diabetes
If you have diabetes, protecting your vision is one of the most important steps you can take for your long-term health. Diabetes increases your risk for several serious eye conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, glaucoma, and cataracts. The good news? With regular eye exams and proactive management, many diabetes-related vision problems can be detected early — and even prevented
How Diabetes Affects Your Eyes
High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in your eyes, particularly in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. Over time, this damage can lead to swelling, bleeding, and scarring — all of which threaten your ability to see clearly.
Early Detection = Better Outcomes
The tricky part? Diabetic eye disease often develops silently, without symptoms in the early stages. By the time vision changes occur, the damage may already be severe. That’s why annual dilated eye exams are so critical for anyone with diabetes. With advanced imaging technology, Dr. Belgrave can monitor even the smallest changes in your eye health over time — giving you the best chance at preserving your sight.

No two patients — or cases of diabetes — are the same. That’s why Dr. Belgrave works closely with your primary care doctor or endocrinologist to ensure your eye care plan fits seamlessly into your overall health management. From routine monitoring to tailored treatments designed to slow or prevent disease progression, you’ll receive care that’s as individual as you are.
