Diabetic eye exams now available at select health centers

The Institute is thrilled to announce that eye exams for people with diabetes will soon be available at several of our health centers. Patients with diabetes will be able to get their yearly diabetes retinal screening using a special machine called the LumineticsCore, which takes a picture of the eye and uses AI technology to check for eye problems. The entire test is quick, painless, and takes just a few minutes.

Everyone with diabetes should have their eyes checked at least once a year. This important test checks for a condition called diabetic retinopathy, in which high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels at the back of the eye. Diabetic retinopathy has no symptoms until the later stages, but if left untreated, it can cause blindness. That’s why it’s vital to get yearly eye exams if you have diabetes.

The LumineticsCore eye test is now available at:

• Ellenville Family Health Center
• Stevenson Family Health Center

Coming soon in fall 2025:

• Kingston Family Health Center
• Institute for Family Health at 17^th Street

Coming in 2026:

• Family Practice Center of Hyde Park
• Walton Family Health Center
• New Paltz Family Health Center
• Hope Family Practice

Don’t wait — protect your vision.
If you have diabetes, ask your provider about scheduling your eye exam at your next visit.
