Only an optometrist can tell

It is impossible for patients to know they have diabetic eye disease, especially in the early stages. Only a qualified optometrist can identify the tell-tale signs.

Understanding diabetic eye disease in our patients

Diabetic retinopathy affects nearly all individuals with Type 1 diabetes and approximately 60% of those with Type 2 diabetes within 20 years of their diagnosis.

In Sydney’s diverse population, we regularly see how this condition develops when blood glucose levels remain elevated over time, damaging the delicate blood vessels in your retina.

we use Sydney’s leading diabetic eye testing technology

At our Sydney practice, we employ cutting-edge diagnostic technology for comprehensive diabetic eye assessments:
