Comprehensive Diabetic Retinopathy Screenings
With our knowledgeable optometrists, thorough diabetic retinopathy exams, and emphasis on early detection, Vision Specialists is here to be your go-to resource to limit diabetes’ impact on your eye health — and to preserve your clear sight.
What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
As the leading cause of blindness in patients with diabetes, diabetic retinopathy is a common complication that can significantly hinder your eyesight. High blood sugar from diabetes can harm blood vessels in the retina — a vital structure that converts what you see into something the brain can understand. These damaged vessels can block blood flow or leak into the retina, leading to blurry sight, floaters, dark spots, and eventually even severe vision loss.
Diabetic Retinopathy Risk Factors
You have a chance of developing diabetic retinopathy whether you have type 1, type, 2, or gestational diabetes. You could be at higher risk depending on your age, lifestyle, family medical history, how long you’ve had diabetes, and how well-managed it is: that’s part of the reason it’s so important to start tracking and managing early!
How We Detect Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy often shows no obvious warning signs until damage is done, which makes regular comprehensive eye exams vital to detect complications before they impact your vision or quality of life. With their experience and leading diagnostic equipment, our talented doctors can detect diabetic retinopathy and diabetes as early as possible, ensuring you can get your diabetes — and eyesight — under control.

Impressed
Had a great experience from the reception to the exit. Everyone was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The technology they used was impressive and easy on the eyes. My only regret is I forgot to grab a free cup of coffee on the way out!
Friendly
I was Very impressed with my overall experience!! It was a very detailed exam, along a friendly staff which definitely helped! The machines are crazy high tech but I like how they cleaned before you use them. It’s easy to see it’s a clean place. You can tell they live their job and are passionate about it. That’s helps relax a person. I like how they talk to you and explain what is going on and what everything means so you can comprehend the process and what the results mean. They even have cute things to help kids feel more comfortable is adorable! I would definitely recommend!!"
Incredible
Great customer service. Incredible staff. I really love the environment of this facility. From the time I walked in the door (greeted by Maddie who offered basically a little of everything to drink) to Corrie with the the cool technology machines, to Dr. Jared, everything felt seamless. He was very professional, courteous and efficient. Thomas helped me pick a pair of glasses that I couldn't be more proud to wear. I took a handful of Dr. Jared's business cards and will be giving them out to all of my family and co-workers. These folks get it. Thanks again."
Friendly
I had a great experience at Vision Specialists. Their cutting edge technology made the appointment painless and it was affordable even without vision insurance. The staff is kind, the office is peaceful and modern, and Dr. Jared makes things easy while working with you to get to the bottom of your eye care needs. If you want top notch, friendly care, I don’t know why you would go anywhere else.
