Dilation and Digital Retinal Photography for Diabetic Eye Exams

Kozol Vision Center enjoys being a referral source for a growing number of local primary care physicians for diabetic eye exams.

#508.238.5200  www.kozolvision.com

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. 



Reference: http://www.diabetes.org/newsroom/press-releases/2017/ADA-Diabetic-Retinopathy.html This is important because Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision-loss globally. Reference: Eye Vis (Lond). 2015; 2: 17.
