Diabetic patients should have their eyes examined every 6-12 months depending on when they were first diagnosed and how well-controlled their blood sugar is. A dilated fundus exam would allow us to thoroughly evaluate if the eyes are affected by diabetes in any way and communicate that back to your primary care physician, nurse practitioner or endocrinologist.

Myopia (commonly known as nearsightedness) is where light focuses too close in the eye. This means people who are nearsighted can see great up close but cannot see as well far away. Unfortunately, the prevalence of myopia is increasing at an alarming rate-especially among children of asian ethnicity 1. Not only that, those who already have myopia are worsening at an increasing rate. The good news is that there is now something we can do. Eye drops (Atropine) and special glasses or contact lenses have been shown in studies to slow the rate of progression of myopia.
If your child is myopic and getting worse every year, come visit us at Acuity Vision Care and see if myopia control is right for them.
