Comprehensive Diabetic Eye Exams at Central Ohio Vision and Eyecare
Protect Your Vision with Annual Diabetic Eye Exams
Diabetes can significantly impact your vision, leading to complications such as retinal bleeding, swelling, and even detachment. At COVE, we stress the importance of yearly diabetic eye exams for all patients, as early detection is key to preventing severe vision loss.
Why Choose Us for Your Diabetic Eye Care?
- Advanced Diagnostic Tools: Using screening photos and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), we detect early signs of diabetic eye disease. These technologies provide detailed images of the retina’s cell layers, helping us identify and monitor abnormalities.
- Comprehensive Eye Health Monitoring: Our exams include a thorough examination of your eye’s blood vessels, offering insights into your overall health. This can reveal early indicators of conditions like high blood pressure.
- Collaborative Care: We work closely with your primary care provider or endocrinologist, sending detailed reports to ensure coordinated care for your overall health and wellness.

1– This is a high resolution image of the back of the retina, which allows us to see blood vessels, the optic nerve (connects the eye and brain together), and macula (central vision).
2– This is a cross section of the retina that lets us see the individual cell layers, which allows us to see diabetic changes as well as macular degeneration and detachments of the retina.
3 – These are thickness comparison maps. These allow us to compare how thick or thin parts of the eyes are compared to a normal healthy eye. Using these maps helps us gauge risk of and monitor diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and keep the best, most complete record of current eye health so we can track people’s eyes more completely.
