What Is a Diabetic Eye Exam?

Diabetic eye exams are similar to our regular comprehensive eye screens but are tailored for clients with diabetes. They are equally as thorough and are accompanied by additional tests that are designed to focus on common diabetes-related issues and complications. Thanks to our advanced technology, we can see the smallest and most subtle signs of these conditions, allowing us to protect your vision before long-term damage can occur.

Why Are Diabetic Eye Exams
Important?

While diabetes affects the entire body, it has an outsized impact on your eye health. One of the most common conditions caused by diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, where the tiny blood vessels in the retina located at the back of the eye become damaged, resulting in permanent vision loss. By the time you notice the symptoms of this condition, the damage is usually irreversible. This makes it important for those with diabetes to attend annual comprehensive diabetic exams so that we can detect issues early and develop a personalized treatment plan that will help keep your vision and eye health intact.

Needed to adjust my new glasses purchased somewhere else, and found this place. The guy who greeted me was super nice and he was able to help me adjust. I didn’t feel any dizziness after the adjustment. Highly recommend!

Had an eye exam and ordered new glasses as a first-time patient. Check-in, exam, and ordering all went flawlessly. Staff and doctor were very friendly. Loved that I did not need to have my pupils dilated! David recommended some great frames. Will definitely go back for my next exam.

I went to Big City Optical the other week and wanted to give a shout out to AJ! My youngest son snapped off a piece of my oldest son's glasses and he was able to put it back together and quickly. He was friendly and professional--definitely an asset to this place! Thank you AJ!!!

I called and spoke to Ray at this location. I was calling because I was ordering a pair of prescription sunglasses and needed clarification on my prescription results and whatnot. She was extremely helpful during my interaction. She provided me what I needed on my call, but I had to call back for an additional question. Where I was expecting a level of annoyance for me to call right back, she was still extremely helpful and patient and provided me with all the information I needed. I really appreciated her professionalism and willingness to assist me.

The staff is fabulous, they were so helpful and patient because I am obnoxiously fussy when it comes to my eyewear but it's difficult for me to see you when I don't have my glasses on. I left feeling confident that the staff helped me choose the frames that best suited my face without pushing expensive options. They genuinely took the time to help me find the frames that I like that we're also complementary to my Facial features. The selection was stellar, and the frames that are made it and house where affordable and stylish. I also had an eye exam and this was the first time I had an exam with such modern equipment. It was lovely, not having that puff of ere affordable and stylish. I also had an eye exam and this was the first time I had an exam with such modern equipment.
