Ask your doctor about a second indication for ILUVIEN
In order to determine if you have DME, your eye doctor will perform a full eye exam. In addition, your eye doctor may ask several questions and perform tests to help properly diagnose your condition.
Your eye doctor will dilate your pupil and use a special lens to look at your retina and optic nerve to spot or monitor problems.
If you have diabetes and are currently experiencing changes in your vision, see your eye doctor right away.
If your eye doctor suspects or detects DME, he/she may inject a special dye into your arm that is carried through your bloodstream to your retinal blood vessels.
Your eye doctor will observe how the dye travels through the back of the eye, and take pictures of retinal blood vessels to detect leaks and determine any damage.
