Diabetic Eye Exams
A diabetic eye exam looks for retinopathy and other diabetes-related changes inside the eye, and it is billed to medical insurance rather than vision insurance. Fairview Eyecare in Allen performs diabetic eye exams and sends the findings back to the doctor managing the diabetes.
Diabetes can change the retina before vision changes. That is the whole reason the exam exists — not because something already feels wrong.
Bring the name of the doctor who manages your diabetes. We document the visit so they get the result.
