Why Do You Need an Eye Exam?
Diabetes can damage your eyes, leading to vision loss and blindness. Often, there are no symptoms until it’s too late. A yearly eye exam can help protect your sight. During the exam, your eye care professional will check for damage caused by diabetes to the nerves and blood vessels of your eyes.
Fidelis Care members can have their yearly diabetic eye exam for no or low cost. To learn more, talk with your primary care provider or call DavisVision, our vision benefits partner, at:
