Diabetic Eye Exam in Houston, TX

What Is a Diabetic Eye Exam?

A diabetic eye exam is a medical eye test designed to detect vision problems caused by diabetes, especially diabetic retinopathy — the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults.

This exam goes far beyond a standard vision test. It includes a thorough evaluation of your retina, blood vessels, and optic nerve to catch early signs of damage from high blood sugar.

We also provide diabetic retinal exams using high-resolution imaging for precise monitoring and documentation — essential for long-term eye health.

What to Expect During Your Diabetic Eye Test

Our diabetic eye care process is simple, effective, and aligned with ADA and AOA guidelines. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or managing diabetes long-term, we make your exam stress-free.

Your Visit Includes:

• Review of medical and diabetes history
• Vision acuity and prescription check
• Dilated pupil exam to inspect the retina and optic nerve
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging for detailed retinal analysis
• Screening for diabetic retinopathy, macular edema and other diabetic eye diseases
• Digital reports for your primary care doctor or endocrinologist

We work closely with your healthcare team to ensure seamless, coordinated care.

Understanding Diabetic Retinopathy and Eye Disease Risk

Diabetic Retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina. It can lead to bleeding, swelling, scar tissue, and eventually, vision loss.

Other diabetes-related eye conditions we screen for include:

• Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) – swelling of the central retina
• Glaucoma – increased eye pressure that damages the optic nerve
• Cataracts – clouding of the eye lens, more common in diabetics

Early detection is your best defense. A regular diabetic retinal exam can prevent 95% of vision loss when caught early.
