Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease caused by diabetes. The damage occurs in the retina, hence the term retinopathy. The retina is the neural tissue that lines the back wall of the eye, where light is focused, and then it sends a signal to the brain for vision. It usually takes many years (10-15 years) before diabetes can damage the retina, however some patients have diabetes for years before it is officially diagnosed.

Dr. Singer
Yesterday, I had a frightening eye situation with my wife. Cary Eye Center took my wife without an appointment and the whole staff was wonderful. The icing on the cake was Dr. O’Neal. I examined his training history prior to calling the office, and I was very impressed. Meeting Dr. O’Neal and experiencing his reassuring, extremely professional demeanor was just what my wife needed, to allay her anxiety. This visit convinced us that all of our future eye treatment will be done by Dr. O’Neal. In short, we cannot recommend an ophthalmologist higher!

I recently had occasion to meet Dr. O’Neal, under rather inauspicious circumstances. While performing a home improvement project, I sustained a fairly serious injury to my left eye, requiring a visit to the emergency room. Fortunately for me and for the future of that eye, Dr. O’Neal was on call that day. His swift care, attention, and great competence resulted in the best possible outcome in an otherwise doubtful situation. Moreover, his obvious concern for my well-being and clear explanation of the circumstances attendant to the injury (I, being a layman) allowed a scary situation to feel less so. He has a new patient in me and my family, and I couldn’t more enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in search of a great eye-care provider.

“I have been a patient of Dr. O’Neal’s for over a decade. When I first started seeing him, my eyes were a mess… Working with Dr. O’Neal, he was able to systematically diagnose the issues and treat them. My eyes have never felt better! At one point in my treatment, I ended up having an allergic reaction to one of the eye drops. It was an uncomfortable night to say the least. I called his office when it opened and he was able to fit me in that morning and fixed the problem. It was very much appreciated! The new office is really nice and the staff have been very friendly. Overall, my eyes have never felt better…and I’m very happy to be Dr. O’Neal’s patient.”

“Dr. Kevin O’Neal restored my faith, and I will always remain grateful to him…His service answered and said they would relay the message to him. To my amazement, within minutes, as I was on my way out of the door, my phone rang and it was Dr. O’Neal himself, personally returning my call at 10PM in the evening. By now I had completely lost vision out of my right eye and thought I was going to be permanently blind in that eye. Dr O’Neal comforted me on the phone with his words and told me he would be waiting for me to arrive at the hospital. He was there when I arrived and I was given IMMEDIATE treatment because of him. I did not have to wait my turn. He performed emergency surgery that evening and restored my vision and saved my eye.”
