Diabetic eye care for Chouteau County
Diabetes is common across rural Montana and diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of preventable vision loss. Every comprehensive exam at The Eye Guy includes digital retinal imaging, and we offer dedicated diabetic eye exams for patients managing diabetes.
With your permission, we send a plain-language retinal report to your Fort Benton or Chouteau County primary care provider or endocrinologist so your care team has your results on file each year.

Fort Benton eye care FAQs
Can you handle my whole family in one visit?
We try our best. Tell us how many people and which appointment types, and we will schedule back-to-back so the drive from Fort Benton is worth it.
Is the Conrad office closer?
