Diabetic Eye Exams in

Waitsfield, VT

Diabetes can affect different parts of the body, including the eyes. People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and other eye conditions that can lead to vision loss or even blindness if left untreated. At Mad River Eye Care, our eye doctor is trained to detect early signs of diabetic eye disease during a comprehensive eye exam. The sooner the condition is detected, the easier it is to treat and prevent further damage to your eyes.

Treatment for diabetic eye disease

While there is no cure for diabetic eye disease, treatment can help in reducing, delaying, or even preventing vision loss. Our eye doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as maintaining healthy blood sugar levels through diet and exercise. Regular follow-up visits are also essential for monitoring the progression of diabetic eye disease and tailoring your treatment plan accordingly. In some cases, more advanced treatment options may be necessary for diabetic eye disease. This could include laser treatment to seal leaking blood vessels in the retina or surgery to remove scar tissue that is affecting your vision.

From the front desk to the doctors, everyone is focused on providing the best possible care. Judy the front desk receptionist is an excellent communicator, patient and kind. Judy demonstrated excellent customer service while prioritizing the needs of the patient offering flexibility with a cheerful attitude. Lenny our Optometric Technician, was efficient and friendly. The technical expertise he showed along with providing direct patient care and educating the patient was unparalleled. Dr. Morgan McClintic is very thorough with her exams. She provided excellent explanations that were clear and explained various options, spent extra time answering questions with ease and patience. Her passion for eye care and her rapport with her patients through conversation and humor allowed for a stress-free visit for the patient. Excellent service in the optical center.

The office is very clean , well lit and inviting . Everyone including the receptionist are so friendly, kind and patient. Very advanced technology in this office . Dr Mitchell was patient , thorough and went above and beyond to make sure my prescription was accurate. He answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable with the eye exam . I would definitely recommend anyone to to this office for your vision needs . I'd even go as far as to say this was the best experience I've ever had at an optometrist office. So glad to be a new patient.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mad River Eye Care for the win!! What an amazing customer service experience I had today with this group. We are in town visiting and my daughter’s shipment of contacts was delayed. I called Mad River Eye Care and within an hour we had a new supply of contacts. They really saved the day and were such a pleasure to work with. 10 out of 10 experience for this team + Dr. Mitchell. Thank you!!
