Diabetic eye care for Great Falls patients
Great Falls has one of the highest concentrations of adults living with type 2 diabetes in north-central Montana, and diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of preventable vision loss. Every comprehensive eye exam at our Great Falls eye care office includes digital retinal imaging, and we offer dedicated diabetic eye exams for patients managing type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes.
With your permission, we send a plain-language retinal report to your primary care provider or endocrinologist at Benefis, Great Falls Clinic, or your private practitioner, so your whole care team has the same picture of your eye health each year.
Family eye care in every Great Falls neighborhood
As a family eye doctor, we see kids as young as six months through seniors in every zip code across Great Falls, and eye exams are scheduled around school and work hours. Common visits include back-to-school pediatric eye exams for students at C.M. Russell High, Great Falls High, Longfellow, and Riverview Elementary, contact lens fittings for athletes, and progressive lens work for adults juggling screens, driving, and hobbies.
If you have not seen an eye doctor for an annual eye exam in over a year, book eye care online or walk in during business hours. Same-day frame adjustments and minor repairs are complimentary for patients of the practice.
