Diabetic retinopathy: retina checks for people with diabetes

Diabetes can damage retinal vessels with no early symptoms. A yearly fundus exam helps protect your vision.

Who should be checked

Everyone with type 1 or 2 diabetes at least yearly, more often in pregnancy or if changes exist.

How it is detected

Dilated fundus exam and additional retina tests when needed.

Control and follow-up

Good glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol control is key; if damage exists, timely treatment or referral is arranged.
