Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of vision loss among adults living with diabetes. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina—the part of the eye responsible for detecting light and sending signals to the brain. While it can progress silently, early detection and proactive lifestyle changes can help slow or even prevent vision loss.

When it comes to your eye health, early detection is everything. Some of the most serious vision problems don’t have obvious symptoms in the early stages, which is why advanced imaging technology like optical coherence tomography (OCT) is such a game-changer. At Blinking Owl Eye Care, we use OCT scans to take a deeper look at the structures inside your eyes—helping us catch potential issues before they impact your vision. With six convenient locations across Broward and Dade County, we make it easier than ever to prioritize your eye health.
