According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, detecting diabetic retinopathy early can prevent or delay blindness in 90% of cases.(1) That’s why it’s so important for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes to stay up to date with their screenings, even if they don't have symptoms.

A diabetic eye exam is performed by an eye care professional to check for signs of diabetic retinopathy. It’s a simple test that can help patients get the treatment they need to see clearly into the future.
