Diabetic eye disease at Lowcountry Eye Care

What is Diabetic Eye Disease?

Those with diabetes are naturally at risk for developing certain eye diseases, like diabetic retinopathy. This condition forms when high blood sugar damages the blood vessels in your retina — an important part of your eye that detects light and sends signals to your brain. This damage can cause irreversible vision loss and even blindness if left untreated. At Lowcountry Eye Care, our doctors can detect the earliest signs of diabetic eye disease and help you take steps now to protect your vision for the future.

Early Detection and
Management of Diabetic Eye Disease

You may have retinal damage from diabetic retinopathy and not even know it, as symptoms usually don’t occur until you experience vision loss. Regular diabetic eye exams are critical when it comes to protecting your sight, and our friendly doctors at Lowcountry Eye Care have the experience and technology needed to detect this condition early. If we do see any of its signs, we’ll work with you to develop a treatment plan to prevent any lasting damage to your eyes and vision.

Cutting Edge Dry Eye Technology

During our comprehensive eye exams, we take detailed scans of your eyes with state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, like our Optos retinal imager and our optical coherence tomography (OCT) device. This helps us gain a complete understanding of your retinal health. In fact, the same technology can catch diabetes itself even before your general practitioner could! With years of experience helping patients manage diabetic eye disease, we know what to look for in order to catch the condition early, keep your vision clear, and prevent further damage to your eyes.

My daughter and I had such a wonderful experience at our eye appointment. We were met with such friendly, caring faces!!! We saw Dr. Salter and her amazing staff. Felt so comfortable with our eye care and they are very passionate about their jobs! Jeana was hilariously honest with her opinion on picking our glasses. I LOVED her honesty. Everyone there was amazing and so friendly. They were also very upfront with the pricing/cost of services, which was a nice change. No surprises. Would definitely recommend this practice.

I have been coming to Lowcountry Eye Care for years. Based on the days that I make my appointment I don't always see the same doctor.That being said, I have always had a great experience, whether it was with Dr.Pitcavage,Dr.Shealey or Dr. McCormack. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Vitta.She made me feel right at home during my visit and was able to help and advise me with some of my allergy concerns.I would also like to thank Shanna for being so patient with helping me pick out the right frames. She was right about which frames to choose and I am happy with the choices that I made. Thanks to Morgan for explaining all about the floaters.I can't imaging going anywhere else for my eye care needs. SG

If you need an eye doctor, look no further! This place has it all: friendly staff, yep! Updated technology, yep! Large selection of frames for any budget, yep! Petting zoo, ye……!! okay…they don’t have a petting zoo. They are extremely thorough and make sure that you get the best solution for your peepers. I’ve seen lots of the doctors since I’ve been going there, most recently; Dr Vitta - and she was awesome!
