THE DIABETIC EYE CENTER OF PHILADELPHIA Vision Care for People With Diabetes The Diabetic Eye Center of Philadelphia is a division of Soll Eye Associates and is under the direction of their retinal specialist, Dr. David Rho Diabetes Mellitus attacks all parts of the body. A leading cause of blindness, diabetes increases the risk of visual loss due to retinal problems, glaucoma and cataracts. The condition can also cause other eye problems such as eye muscle imbalances which cause double vision. The Diabetic Eye Center of Philadelphia provides a significant service to the community, being devoted specifically to the care of diabetic patients. In many cases, the eye conditions in diabetic patients require special treatment. Although most skilled ophthalmologists can identify these conditions, their offices may not be properly equipped to treat them. This central facility was created to gather all these treatments in one place, making it unnecessary for patients to travel across different parts of the city from one eye specialist to another. New advances in ophthalmology continue to increase the support available to diabetic patients with eye problems. Conditions that were not treatable in the recent past are now treated using lasers and other new techniques. Diabetic retinopathy eventually affects nearly every juvenile and adult onset diabetic. The treatments we have today can save the sight of patients who might have become visually disabled in the past. The Diabetic Eye Center has state-of-the-art instruments such as computerized digital angiography, which evaluates the retinal blood vessels immediately, and the dye laser, which is used to treat many different types of retinal problems. Our team approach includes full-time retina, glaucoma and cataract specialists all in one office who specialize in diabetic eye care needs.
