Diabetic Eye Exams in Aubrey, TX

If you have diabetes, regular eye exams are vital for preserving your vision and preventing serious complications. At Aubrey Eye Care, we offer thorough diabetic eye exams designed to detect early signs of eye disease often before you notice any symptoms.

We collaborate closely with your primary care physician or endocrinologist to make your eye health an integral part of your diabetes care plan.

Why Diabetic Eye Exams Are Important

Diabetes can damage the tiny blood vessels in your eyes, increasing your risk for several sight-threatening conditions:

• Diabetic Retinopathy – Progressive damage to the retina that can lead to vision loss

• Macular Edema – Swelling in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision

• Glaucoma and Cataracts – More common in people with diabetes

Early detection through a comprehensive, dilated eye exam can help prevent permanent vision loss.

What to Expect During Your Diabetic Eye Exam

During your visit, our optometrist will:

• Review your medical and vision history

• Perform a retinal exam to inspect the retina and optic nerve

• Use advanced imaging tools like OCT and retinal photography

• Monitor for signs of retinopathy, macular edema, or other changes

• Provide a detailed report to your diabetes care team upon request
