Our office follows the current American Diabetes Association protocol of annual eye exams on patients with Types One and Two Diabetes including dilation and digital retinal photography when necessary and more often than annually when diabetic findings are being followed for progression. 

A report is written and sent to the primary care physician usually with twenty four hours of the eye exam.
