Any patient with diabetes should have a comprehensive dilated eye examination annually. Diabetes and its complications can greatly affect many parts of the eye. A common complication of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy in which the delicate blood vessels inside the eye begin to leak. If undetected and untreated diabetic retinopathy can lead to blindness. Other eye conditions associated with diabetes are fluctiations in vision, double vision, cataracts and glaucoma.

Most forms of glaucoma develop slowly and usually without symptoms. If glaucoma is detected and treated at an early stage it can usually be controlled with little or no further vision loss. The doctors at Ozarks Family Vision Centre use highly specialized instrumentation to diagnose and properly treat glaucoma.

Symptoms of AMD are gradual loss of central vision, objects appear distorted in shape, loss of color vision or a dark or blank area in the center of the visual field. Early detection and ongoing monitoring and treatment of AMD are essential to minimize vision loss.
