Why an Insurance Covered ERG Exam Could Be the Key to Early Detection

When it comes to protecting your vision, early detection is one of the most powerful tools available. Many retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, develop quietly - often without noticeable symptoms until irreversible damage has occurred. This is where an ERG (Electroretinography) Examination can make all the difference.
 

At Your Eye Doctor P.C., we offer this advanced diagnostic test as part of our commitment to preserving your vision and overall eye health. Best of all, the ERG Examination is the most advanced technology for diagnostic management of retinal disease and diabetic retinopathy that is fully covered by insurance - making it accessible and affordable for our patients.
 

What Is an ERG Exam?

An ERG exam measures the electrical responses of the retina to light stimuli, allowing your eye doctor to detect abnormalities in retinal function before they can be seen during a standard eye exam. It’s a quick, painless, and non-invasive test that provides invaluable insight into your retinal health.
 

Why Early Detection Is Crucial

Retinal diseases like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and inherited retinal conditions can lead to significant vision loss if left untreated. Early detection through an ERG exam can:
 

•          Identify changes in retinal function before symptoms appear.

•          Allow for earlier intervention and more effective treatment.

•          Prevent or slow the progression of vision loss.

•          Support ongoing management for patients with diabetes or other risk factors.
 

Fully Covered by Insurance

Many patients avoid advanced testing due to cost concerns. At Your Eye Doctor P.C., your ERG examination is fully covered by insurance, ensuring you can access the most advanced technology without financial barriers.
 

Who Should Consider an ERG Exam?

You may benefit from an ERG exam if you:
 

•          Have diabetes or pre-diabetes

•          Have a family history of retinal disease

•          Experience unexplained vision changes

•          Are at higher risk for retinal or optic nerve conditions
