Diabetic Eye Exams in Frankenmuth, MI

MiVision Eye Care welcomes patients from Frankenmuth who need annual diabetic eye exams with advanced retinal imaging and early detection. Diabetes can impact vision silently — we help keep your eyes protected.

Why Diabetic Eye Exams Matter

Diabetes is linked to several eye conditions, including:

  • Diabetic retinopathy

  • Macular edema

  • Retinal hemorrhages

  • Accelerated cataract formation

  • Glaucoma risk

Early detection is key — most vision loss from diabetes is preventable with routine care.

What to Expect at MiVision

Your Frankenmuth diabetic eye exam includes:

  • Dilated exam

  • Maestro OCT scan

  • Widefield retinal imaging

  • Systemic health & A1C review

  • Personalized monitoring plan

We work closely with your PCP and endocrinologist to ensure seamless communication.

What is the Recommended Interval for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening?

The recommended interval for screening depends on if diabetic changes are present or not.  If there are no changes, yearly monitoring is recommended.  If there are changes monitoring more frequently is recommended.  The recommended interval and any diabetic changes will be discussed at your appointment.

Advanced Technology

MiVision uses advanced diagnostic tools, including:

  • Maestro OCT for early macular changes

  • Widefield imaging for peripheral diabetic retinopathy

  • Argos biometry if cataracts are present

  • On-site visual field testing

Treatment Options

If diabetic changes are present, we coordinate your care with trusted retina specialists and provide

  • Monitoring retinopathy

  • Retina specialist collaboration

  • Cataract evaluations

  • Glaucoma management

What are the Common Ways that Diabetic Retinopathy is Treated?

Treatment options may include:

  • Medical Management: We help you keep your blood sugar and blood pressure in check since this can slow or even reverse early retinal changes.
  • Medication Injections: When swelling occurs, we administer anti-VEGF or steroid injections to reduce macular swelling and support clearer vision.
  • Laser or Surgical Options: If needed, we offer laser treatment or vitrectomy surgery to remove blood or scar tissue and restore sight.
