At Urias Eyecare, we can perform a comprehensive eye exam for people with diabetes in the Odessa and Midland TX, area.  Our goal is to help catch and treat any diabetes-related eye issues as early as possible.

Local Optometrist Specializing in Diabetes-Related Eye Issues 

If you suffer from diabetes, you know that this condition affects everything from your feet and hands to your eyes. Therefore, you must have the most important parts of your body tested regularly. However, few optometrists specialize in treating patients with diabetic conditions. Urias Eyecare has a specialized team that is ready to examine and treat all types of eye-related issues associated with diabetes. This includes diabetic retinopathy, which is a serious diabetes-related eye condition that adversely affects the blood vessels in the retina.

What To Expect During an Eye Exam

When it comes to examining the eyes of people with diabetes, it's important to take a close look at the blood vessels. The best way for the eye doctor to examine your eyes without resorting to surgery is through a dialed eye exam. During the test, our optometrist will administer a solution to each eye. Afterward, the eye will be examined through special medical equipment. From there, our eye doctor will be able to assess the eyes and recommend the appropriate treatment.
