How often should eye exams with dilation be performed in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes if no retinopathy is present?

Annually
Every 1-2 years
Every 6 months
Every 3 years

The correct answer is: Every 1-2 years

Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes are at an increased risk for developing retinopathy, a condition that causes damage to the blood vessels in the retina. Dilated eye exams are important in detecting and monitoring for this condition. While it is important to have annual eye exams for all individuals, those with Type 2 Diabetes should have their eyes dilated every 1-2 years to ensure early detection and treatment of retinopathy. Having eye exams too frequently (every 6 months) may not be necessary unless there are other risk factors present, and having eye exams less frequently (every 3 years) may not provide enough monitoring for potential changes in the retina.
