Eye Exam
At Wind City Eye Care, our comprehensive eye exams in Casper, Wyoming go beyond a simple vision check to ensure your eyes are healthy and your sight is at its best. Comprehensive eye exams are essential because they provide a thorough evaluation of your eye health, not just your vision. During these exams, Dr. Porter assesses your entire eye and visual system, including your color vision, depth perception, and eye teaming and tracking, allowing him to detect and address any issues early. This is important because many eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, develop slowly and without obvious symptoms in their early stages. Early detection through comprehensive exams is key to preventing vision loss and managing these conditions effectively.
Comprehensive eye exams can also reveal underlying health issues. The eyes are a window to your overall health, and certain systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even some cancers can show signs in your eyes before you have any symptoms. Dr. Porter can detect these conditions and recommend appropriate follow-up care or provide referrals to other healthcare professionals.
Leading the way in eye care innovation
During your eye exam, Dr. Porter will use state-of-the-art technology to gain detailed insights into the health of your retina, optic nerve, and other critical eye structures. This technology allows him to catch issues that might be missed with a less thorough exam. During your comprehensive eye exam, our eye doctor may use the following technology and techniques:
Digital retinal imaging
This innovative technology captures detailed images of your retina. Using these images, Dr. Porter can assess your eye health and detect and monitor conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
OCT provides cross-sectional images of your retina, allowing for early detection of glaucoma, macular holes, and other retinal diseases.
Visual field testing
Our doctor will measure your peripheral (or side) vision to detect areas of vision loss, which could indicate glaucoma and other conditions.
Digital phoropter/digital refraction system
With this technology, Dr. Porter can determine your prescription for glasses or contact lenses faster and more accurately.
Corneal mapping
Maps the curvature of your cornea to diagnose and manage conditions like keratoconus and provide the best fit for your contact lenses.
Autorefractor
Automatically measures how light changes as it enters your eye, which provides us with an accurate starting point for determining your prescription.
