👁️‍🗨️ Diabetes & Eye Health: The Importance of Annual Dilated Eye Exams

Diabetes can increase your risk for eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts. These conditions often develop silently, without pain or early symptoms — but can lead to permanent vision loss if not caught early.

✅ Annual dilated eye exams let ophthalmologists examine the retina in detail and detect issues before vision is affected.
✅ Managing blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol lowers your risk of diabetic eye complications.
✅ Early detection and treatment help protect both your vision and your independence.

✨ If you have diabetes, protecting your eyes is just as important as protecting your overall health.

👁️‍🗨️ Healthy Vision Checklist for Seniors

✅ Schedule routine dilated eye exams with your ophthalmologist
✅ Keep your eyeglass prescription updated
✅ Know your family history of eye disease
✅ Manage conditions like diabetes & high blood pressure that affect eye health
✅ Improve home safety with good lighting and contrast (dark rugs on light floors, for example)
✅ Protect your eyes outdoors with UVA & UVB sunglasses
✅ Rest your eyes with breaks when reading or using digital devices

✨ Protecting your eyesight helps protect your overall health and quality of life.

👀 Floaters & Flashes: When to Get Checked

Floaters (spots, specks, or cobwebs) and flashes (bursts or streaks of light) are common as the vitreous gel inside the eye changes with age — and most of the time, they’re harmless.

⚠️ But new or sudden changes should never be ignored. See an ophthalmologist immediately if you notice:
• A sudden increase in floaters
• Persistent or new flashes of light
• A shadow or “curtain” in your side vision
• Sudden loss of vision

These may signal a retinal tear or detachment — conditions that require urgent treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.

✨ Bottom line: Floaters and flashes can be normal, but if symptoms are new or worsening, get checked right away.

📞 Call (440) 205-5840 or visit insighteyecenter.com to schedule your comprehensive exam.

💡 Eye Health Tip: Spending long hours on your phone or computer can cause digital eye strain — leading to tired eyes, headaches, and dryness.

Try the 20-20-20 rule to give your eyes a break:
👉 Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

It’s a simple step that makes a big difference for your vision comfort.

👁️ September is Healthy Aging Month — and your vision deserves the same care as the rest of your health.

👁️ Turning 40 is a milestone for your eyes, too.

Many age-related eye conditions start developing quietly — long before you notice changes in your vision. That’s why adults over 40 should prioritize comprehensive eye exams, not just reading glasses.

Common issues that can appear with age:
🔹 Presbyopia (trouble seeing up close)
🔹 Cataracts
🔹 Glaucoma
🔹 Macular degeneration
🔹 Dry eye and light sensitivity

At Insight Eye Center, we specialize in detecting and treating these conditions early to help preserve your sight for years to come.

👁️ Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” — it causes no early warning signs, and once vision is lost, it cannot be regained.

The only way to detect it early is through routine, comprehensive eye exams.With advanced diagnostics, an ophthalmologist can identify subtle changes in eye pressure or the optic nerve before vision loss begins — giving you the best chance to protect your sight for life.

You may face higher risk if you are:
✔️ Over 60
✔️ Living with high eye pressure
✔️ From a family with glaucoma history
✔️ African American, Asian, or Hispanic

👨‍⚕️ Don’t wait for vision changes to appear — by then, the damage is already permanent. Protect your sight with an eye exam at Insight Eye Center.

🚨 Contact Lens Misuse Can Cost You More Than Discomfort — It Can Cost Your Vision

This Contact Lens Health Week, consider these real cases:
👁️ A 53-year-old lifeguard lost vision in one eye after swimming in contacts and contracting Acanthamoeba keratitis. Despite treatment, her sight never recovered.
🔗 https://people.com/parasites-in-eye-swim-contact-lenses-8736025
👁️ A young woman developed the same parasitic infection after a beach trip. She now requires ongoing care and may need a corneal transplant.
🔗 https://people.com/woman-left-blind-from-parasites-in-her-eye-after-this-common-mistake-11683359
👁️ Oscar went to bed wearing his lenses. What started as minor irritation became a painful bacterial corneal ulcer. He needed a transplant — but it saved his vision.
🔗 https://nyulangone.org/news/corneal-transplantation-saved-contact-lens-wearers-eyesight

These may sound extreme — but they’re real, and they can happen to anyone.
Improper contact lens hygiene and wear can lead to infections, scarring, protein buildup, and even permanent vision loss.
If you notice eye pain, redness, blurred vision, or light sensitivity — don’t wait. Seeing an ophthalmologist early can help save your sight.
