Myopia Management
At Wind City Eye Care in Casper, Wyoming, we focus on protecting the vision of the youngest members of our community. Myopia, or nearsightedness, affects many children and can progress rapidly without proper management. Dr. Porter and our team use advanced methods, including multifocal contact lenses, to slow myopia progression and reduce the risk of serious eye issues later in life.
Understanding myopia in children
Myopia, or nearsightedness, causes distant objects to appear blurry while close objects remain clear. This condition often begins in childhood and can worsen as the child grows. High myopia levels increase the risk of serious eye conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic maculopathy in adulthood.
At Wind City Eye Care, we offer myopia management services in Casper, Wyoming to slow down myopia progression and prevent these issues. Early intervention is key to managing myopia. After examining your child’s eyes, Dr. Porter will create a personalized treatment plan based on their unique needs. We recommend scheduling regular follow-up appointments to ensure the treatment works as expected and to allow Dr. Porter to make any necessary adjustments.
Multifocal contact lenses
We use multifocal contact lenses to manage myopia in children. These lenses provide clear vision at all distances. They also slow myopia progression by distributing light in a way that reduces the stimulus for nearsightedness to worsen.
