Diabetic Eye Care at Maine Optometry
Diabetes can affect all areas of your health, but it has an outsized effect on your vision. That’s why our team at Maine Optometry pays special attention to our patients with diabetes in order to keep them seeing clearly for years to come.
What Is a Diabetic Eye Exam?
Our comprehensive eye exams give us a thorough picture of your eyes, but we offer diabetic eye exams for people with diabetes, with extra attention focused on the wellness of their retinas. These exams have a specific focus on how diabetes impacts certain parts of your eye, like the blood vessels. Using advanced technology, like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Optos retinal imaging, as well as specialty tests like visual evoked potentials (VEP), we get a detailed view of your inner eye and monitor any changes between visits.
Why Is a Diabetic Eye Exam Important?
A serious complication of diabetes that can have lasting effects on your eyes and vision is diabetic retinopathy, which doesn’t always have noticeable symptoms in its early stages. However, our cutting-edge tools and experienced diabetic eye doctors are able to spot the signs of diabetic retinopathy long before it can diminish your vision, making regular checkups essential for diabetic patients.

Testimonials
Patrice SzaboMarch 9, 2023Great experience from start to finish! Everyone is very friendly and cheerful. Dr. Hamilton spends as much time as you need with him, and he's very personable!
Jenny AbrahamMarch 8, 2023Friendly, efficient, and thorough. An all-around good experience!
Pat hMarch 8, 2023I highly recommend them if you need your eyes checked and prescription reviewed. Office is clean, people are nice. The appointment was on time and went well, my prescription was re-evaluated, and I think they zeroed in correcting my prescription better than anyone else ever has, that was very important, and I feel great with the current prescription given to me. They have very nice eyeglasses, types I have purchased before from other places, but I found their prices to be high for the frames I chose and had them price, so I didn't buy any eyeglasses there because of the price.
John SkvorakFebruary 24, 2023My little grandson and I were wrestling as he loves to do and my glasses got the worst of it. I thought the Oakley frames were probably beyond repair and they were not new frames. Unfortunately I was right about the frames. I was very pleased and surprised when they said they would replace the frames and even adjust the prescription slightly in the lenses. Dr Todd Hamilton at the Standish Office definitely went above and beyond to take great care of me and it is very much appreciated!
Karissa McLellanFebruary 10, 2023I have been going to see Dr. Hamilton at the Standish location for a few years and have always had a great experience! The atmosphere is always good and all of the staff treats everyone respectfully. They even took the time to explain my eyeglass prescription so I could price out glasses online and didn’t give me or my husband a hard time about not getting both of our glasses through them. Excellent service all the way around!
