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.

Patient testimonials

"I have been a patient of Connecticut Eye Physicians for many years, attending both the Middletown and Essex offices.

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."

Peter Amos

"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."

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the optician, Diane Bartolotta at Ct. Eye Physicians.

Her level of professionalism, knowledge and genuine care is outstanding.

What really stood out was her attention to detail and commitment to making sure my glasses fit perfectly and the style of the frame suited my face.

She made me feel confident that I was in very capable hands. If you are looking for an optician who truly cares about their patients and delivers top quality service, Diane is the one to see.

Lisa C.

I have been a patient at the practice for over 30 years.

I cannot recommend Dr. Beggins, Dr. Salerno, Lina and their team enough.

From the moment I walked in, the front desk was welcoming, and I am always seen within 10 minutes of my appointment time. Both doctors and the staff take the time to listen to all my concerns, explains things clearly, and treats patients like family.

Their compassionate, knowledgeable approach makes me feel at ease every visit.

Christine C.

I recently came in to get glasses and wanted to tell you about my experience.

I had an excellent interaction with one of your opticians, Bobbi. She made me feel welcomed as soon as I sat down.

She was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me understand my options. She helped me pick out a pair of glasses that fit perfectly and matched my preferences. The whole process was smooth, efficient and genuinely pleasant.

I would highly recommend this optician to anyone looking for professional, caring and high-quality eye care!
