What Lifestyle Changes Can Help Protect Your Eyes from Diabetic Retinopathy?

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of vision loss among adults living with diabetes.

While it can progress silently, early detection and proactive lifestyle changes can help slow or even prevent vision loss.


What Can an OCT Scan Reveal About Your Eye Health?

At Blinking Owl Eye Care, we use OCT scans to take a deeper look at the structures inside your eyes—helping us catch potential issues before they impact your vision.
