Diabetic Eye Exam in Carrollton, TX

Protect your vision from diabetes-related eye damage — comprehensive retinal screening starting at just $25.

​

Why Diabetic Eye Exams Matter

​

Diabetes can cause serious, often silent damage to the retina. Diabetic retinopathy — damage to the blood vessels in the retina caused by high blood sugar — is a leading cause of vision loss in adults, and it frequently has no symptoms until significant damage has already occurred. Annual comprehensive eye exams are the primary way to catch it early, when it's most treatable.

​

What's Included in a Diabetic Eye Exam

​

Dilated retinal exam to directly assess the health of the retina and blood vessels

Internal ocular imaging to document and monitor the retina over time

Retinal health assessment to screen for diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and other diabetes-related eye conditions

Surgery consultation and co-management available when referral to a specialist is needed

​

​

Who Needs This Exam

​

Anyone with type 1 or type 2 diabetes should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year, even without vision changes. Patients with longer-standing diabetes, poorly controlled blood sugar, or existing eye symptoms may need more frequent monitoring — your doctor will recommend a schedule based on your individual risk.

FAQ

​

Does insurance cover diabetic eye exams?

Diabetic eye exams are often covered under medical insurance, including Medicaid, since they're a medically necessary screening rather than a routine vision exam. We'll help you understand your specific coverage at your appointment.

​

How is this different from a regular eye exam?

A diabetic eye exam includes dilation and retinal imaging specifically to evaluate the blood vessels and tissue at the back of the eye, which a routine vision screening doesn't typically include.

​

What happens if retinopathy is found?

Depending on severity, we provide monitoring, referral, and co-management with retina specialists and surgeons as needed to protect your vision.

​

Do you see patients from outside Carrollton?

Yes — Need Eye Exam PLLC sees patients from across North Dallas, DFW, and nationwide.
