Diabetic Eye Health
Protect Your Sight with Early Detection and Expert Care
If you have diabetes, your eyes are at risk—even before symptoms start. At Cascade Eye Care, we provide advanced diagnostics and personalized care to help prevent vision loss from diabetes-related eye conditions.
How Diabetes Affects Your Eyes
Diabetes interferes with blood sugar regulation, which can damage blood vessels throughout the body—including those in the eyes. Left untreated, this damage can lead to vision loss or blindness.

How We Help at Cascade Eye Care
Advanced Imaging with OCT Angiography
We use non-invasive ZEISS OCT Angiography to see tiny blood vessels in your retina—without dyes or injections. It detects diabetic retinopathy before it impacts vision.
Intravitreal Injections
Anti-VEGF treatments help stop abnormal blood vessel growth that causes vision damage.
Laser Therapy (Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation)
Seals leaking blood vessels and helps prevent retinal scarring or detachment.
How Often Should You Get Eye Exams?
If you have diabetes, you should get a comprehensive eye exam every year—or more often if recommended. Even without symptoms, diabetic eye disease can develop silently.
