That’s why it’s vital for your you to get a WellVision Exam every year. VSP network doctors can help detect early signs of diabetes with comprehensive exams and retinal imaging. Visit the Carpenters Center for Vision for your annual appointment and retinal imaging. By taking an in-depth picture of the back of the eye, the doctors can evaluate the retina for conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, hypertension, and retinal detachments. Most often in a comprehensive exam this test will eliminate the need to dilate your eyes.
