Diabetic Eye Exams
While it’s important for people of all ages and lifestyles to have their eyes examined regularly, there is an added urgency for those with diabetes to schedule their yearly eye exams which are OHIP covered. Diabetes can affect all areas of the body, including the eyes. It can even increase the risk of developing certain conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.

- Partial or total vision loss
- Blurry vision or difficulty focusing
- Dark or empty areas in your field of vision
- Dots, floaters or dark strings in your field of vision
- Inconsistent changes in vision
- Altered colour vision
If you experience any of the above, schedule an appointment for an eye exam right away.
