Diabetes can seriously threaten your eyesight.
Diabetes puts your eyes at risk of diabetic eye disease, which can cause permanent vision loss.
A diabetic eye exam offers more in-depth testing and diagnostics than a standard eye examination.
We use advanced diagnostic techniques to evaluate the health of your retina.
Tracking structural changes to your retina and other internal ocular structures helps us detect eye diabetic eye disease and other potential issues before they cause irreversible damage.
Diabetes is closely linked to several eye diseases.
Most of these diseases do not show any symptoms until they have already caused significant vision loss.
The best and only way to prevent permanent damage is to catch these conditions in their early stages.
High blood sugar levels can weaken the tiny blood vessels in the retina.
As these blood vessels sustain more damage, they start to leak fluid into the eye.
In some cases, they even cause scar tissue to develop.
Damage to the blood vessels can permanently impact your vision.
Diabetic macular edema commonly starts as diabetic retinopathy.
As the damaged blood vessels sustain more and more damage, they continue to leak fluid into the retina.
The macula swells as a result.
Eventually, the macula swells and thickens so much, it distorts central vision.
Diabetes increases your risk of developing:

“I’m super happy with MDO. I had to get the training for contacts and it was a real struggle for me. Roxanna (if I got her name right) was so patient with me and we ended up having fun! Thank you guys!”
“Excellent operation. MDO is ahead of the curve in terms of their super-current diagnostic equipment as well as their choices for eye/vision care. Friendly & knowledgeable staff through each step of the process. Any time I go, I feel very confident I am being given the best and most up to date information for what’s out there and always feel good about the choice I make for my vision care.”
“I called two other optical shops for a quick frame fix and both explained they wouldn’t fix the glasses unless they were purchased at their store, even for a fee. Not only did MDO fix my frames for me (not purchased with them), when I went to pay they told me not to worry about it. Super friendly, helpful staff, and they’ve definitely earned a customer going forward.”
“MDO does not disappoint! They always help pick out styles that are the right fit and shape for me, and go above and beyond when it comes to repairs and warranties. As always I will be back! UPDATED APRIL 2020: I wish I could leave another review! My daughter’s glasses broke Friday night, and they took care of us so well and so quickly Saturday. As always, they show so much care for their customers. Doug & Jackie, thank you! You have a customer for life!”
“The store is really fun & inviting. The selection of glasses is amazing; you post up at the glasses bar and the ladies available to help do a fantastic job of finding a great pair to suit your face. Dr. Watson was very professional, informative and quick to get my vision assessed with recommendations!”
