TREATMENT FOR DIABETIC EYE DISEASE MIDDLETOWN, CT
Effective Diabetic Eye Treatment
Manage diabetic eye disease with expert, personalized care
Specialized eye care is crucial when you have diabetes
Diabetes can place added strain on your eyes, even when your vision feels stable. Because changes often happen gradually, consistent eye care plays a critical role in protecting your sight over time.
Connecticut Eye Physicians offers individualized treatment for diabetic eye disease designed around careful monitoring and timely intervention. All patients with diabetes are encouraged to schedule annual dilated eye exams so our doctors can continuously evaluate retinal health and catch signs of diabetic retinopathy as early as possible. When changes are detected, your eye doctor coordinates with your primary care physician or endocrinologist to support your overall health.
If treatment becomes necessary, options may include laser therapy, medication injections, or surgical care, depending on the severity of the condition. Throughout the process, our team focuses on clear communication, thoughtful recommendations, and making each visit as comfortable and manageable as possible.

I am so grateful to Dr. Thomas Beggins, Lina Koka, Practice Administrator, and the entire team for the extraordinary care I receive. Everyone is warm and friendly, and above all, highly competent and professional.
The busy offices run like clockwork, but one never feels rushed. The Practice has the very latest in advanced diagnostic equipment, which is very reassuring."

"My experience with Connecticut Eye Physicians has been exceptional from start to finish. The entire staff—especially DeAne Beauvais, C.O.T and Dr. Murphy's assistant—was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate.
My eye surgeon, Dr. Murphy, combines remarkable surgical skill with a caring and reassuring approach that immediately builds confidence. They took the time to explain my condition, answer all of my questions, and walk me through every step of the procedure so I knew exactly what to expect.
Dr. Murphy’s expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout my care. The surgery went smoothly, my recovery was easier than I anticipated, and the improvement in my vision has been truly life‑changing.
I am deeply grateful for the outstanding quality of care I received and highly recommend Connecticut Eye Physicians and Dr. Murphy to anyone considering eye surgery. Their skill, professionalism, and dedication to patient well‑being set them apart as an exceptional practice."

"Dr. Kelleman, I just want to thank you for your comprehensive examination of my eyes.
I also sincerely appreciate, not only your detailed exam, but also your "down to earth" explanation of my glaucoma issue.
Your expertise and compassion were most welcome.
Thanks again."

"I wanted to share my experience with CT Eye Physicians. Every appointment has been a pleasure from start to finish. There is little to no wait time upon arrival, and I am consistently treated with kindness, professionalism, and genuine friendliness.
Dr. Salierno is warm, welcoming, and keeps everything running smoothly. My appointments are efficient and thorough, and I’m able to get my updated prescription and return to work quickly without feeling rushed.
The same positive experience extends to the optical department. For such a busy office, they truly have their systems down. I typically work with Diane Bartolotta, who is energetic, kind, and incredibly attentive. She makes the process of selecting and fitting glasses or contacts seamless and stress-free. I especially appreciate the attention to detail when it comes to style, fit, clarity, and navigating insurance coverage.
I am very grateful for the consistently excellent care. Whenever someone asks for a recommendation, I confidently point them to CT Eye Physicians."
