Eyes on Litchfield provides annual dilated diabetic eye exams in Bantam, CT. Diabetes can damage the retina years before it affects your sight. We photograph and examine the retina for diabetic retinopathy and macular edema, then send a report to your primary care doctor or endocrinologist. These exams are covered by medical insurance, including Medicare.
Diabetes can quietly affect your eyes before you notice any symptoms. Changes in blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels in your eyes, leading to serious vision problems if not detected early.

"The BEST eye exam I've ever had. Dr. Plunske is very thorough, she takes the time and answers your questions. I did not feel rushed. Her staff is friendly and very helpful especially with insurance questions."

Most patients with diabetes should have a comprehensive eye exam once a year, or more often if recommended by their doctor.
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar damages the small blood vessels in the retina — it often develops without symptoms, making early detection through routine exams essential.
If left undetected, diabetes-related eye disease can lead to serious vision loss — but regular monitoring and early treatment significantly reduce this risk.
The best protection is a combination of consistent blood sugar management, annual diabetic eye exams, and early treatment if any changes are detected — working closely with both your eye doctor and primary care provider.
