Diabetic Eye exams
Protect Your Vision — Especially if You Have Diabetes.
Living with diabetes means paying special attention to your eye health. At W. Optical, we offer diabetic eye exams in Grand Rapids to help detect early signs of vision problems before they become serious.
👁 What Is Diabetic Eye Disease?
Diabetes can damage blood vessels in the eyes, leading to conditions like:
-
Diabetic retinopathy.
-
Diabetic macular edema (DME).
-
Cataracts.
-
Glaucoma.
These conditions fall under what’s known as “diabetic eye disease” and can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
🔍 Why Early Detection Matters
High blood sugar levels over time can affect more than just your general health — they can permanently damage your eyesight. That’s why we recommend a dilated eye exam at least once a year for anyone living with diabetes.

-
Check for early signs of diabetic eye complications.
-
