If you or a loved one is managing diabetes, protecting your eyesight is essential. Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes that affects the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. It occurs when chronically high blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to leakage, swelling, or the growth of abnormal new vessels. Over time, this damage can cause vision problems such as blurriness, floaters and even permanent vision loss if left untreated.

There are two main stages: nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), where the vessels weaken and leak, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), where new, fragile vessels grow and may bleed into the eye or cause retinal detachment. Early detection is key. Many patients don't notice symptoms until the disease has progressed.

All patients with diabetes must have a comprehensive, dilated eye exam every year, even if their vision seems fine. According to the National Eye Institute, early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent significant vision loss.

At TSO Briargrove, we provide comprehensive diabetic eye exams in Houston designed to detect early signs of diabetic eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, before they affect your vision. Our expert team makes it easy to prioritize your eye health with fast, accurate and affordable diabetic eye care.
