Q: Do people with diabetes really need an eye exam every year?

A: Yes. Diabetes can lead to diabetic retinopathy, a condition where high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina. Early stages might not present noticeable symptoms, but as it progresses, it can cause vision loss or blindness. Annual eye exams allow for early detection and timely treatment, significantly reducing the risk of severe complications.
