In addition to routine vision exams we also treat many common eye diseases including but not limited to:

Diabetic Eye Examinations:
If you have Type I, Type II, or Borderline diabetes mellitus, it is recommended you undergo an annual dilated eye exam to include a detailed retinal exam. [Note: Our office automatically sends a report to your primary physician or diabetic educator at the conclusion of the exam.]
