Diabetes doesn’t just affect your blood sugar. Over time, it can damage the tiny blood vessels in your eyes, leading to serious vision problems or even blindness. The most concerning part? This damage often begins silently, without any pain or obvious symptoms. At Vitalis Health, we offer in-clinic retinal screening to detect early signs of diabetic eye disease before they become irreversible.
One of the most common complications of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, a condition where elevated sugar levels harm the delicate vessels in the retina. Left unchecked, it can lead to blurred vision, vision loss, or complications like macular edema and retinal detachment. Annual eye screenings are not just recommended. They’re essential.
Our retinal screening process is quick, non-invasive, and completely painless. Using advanced digital imaging, we capture a high-resolution photograph of the back of your eye. This allows us to look for changes in the blood vessels, signs of swelling, hemorrhages, or early damage that can be easily missed during a basic eye exam.
The images are then carefully reviewed and interpreted, so you get not just a report, but a clear explanation of what we see and what it means for your health. If any signs of retinopathy or other concerns are found, we’ll guide you through the next steps, which may include further evaluation, tighter sugar control, or a referral to a specialist.
Regular eye screenings are especially important if you’ve had diabetes for several years, if your sugar levels have been poorly controlled, or if you have additional risk factors like high blood pressure or cholesterol. But even if your vision feels fine, silent changes could already be underway.
At Vitalis Health, we believe in preventive care and early detection because that’s what leads to better outcomes and preserved quality of life.
