Why Should I Get a Diabetic Eye Exam?

Many patients with diabetes do not have any visual symptoms until the advanced stages of the disease. In fact, it is possible to have diabetic retinopathy in the early stages of the disease, even when your diabetes is under control! By detecting diabetic retinopathy in the early stages, permanent vision loss can be prevented.

Dr. Tai has been my family’s Optometrist for the past 21 years. I have always found Dr. Tai to be professional, extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. I recently had complications with my eyes. Dr. Tai addressed my issues, made follow up appointments to monitor my situation and contacted my family physician to ensure I had a holistic approach to my care. What an outstanding human being and Optometrist.
