Advanced Solutions for Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a vision condition characterized by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, which can lead to blurred or distorted vision. We offer a variety of solutions to correct this condition, including specially designed contact lenses, known as toric lenses, which compensate for the uneven curvature and provide clearer vision. For those seeking a more permanent solution, we offer co-management of corrective surgery such as LASIK or PRK, which reshape the cornea and correct the refractive error. Our team works closely with each patient to determine the most appropriate treatment based on the severity of their astigmatism and their vision goals.

Navigating Presbyopia for Aging Eyes

Presbyopia is a common age-related vision condition that makes it difficult to see objects up close, often developing after age 40. This natural part of the aging process can complicate daily tasks like reading or working on a computer. Our optometrists provide solutions to help manage and correct presbyopia, ensuring you can continue to enjoy clear, comfortable vision. Our treatment options include progressive lenses, which offer a seamless transition between near and distant vision without the lines found in traditional bifocals. For those who prefer contact lenses, we offer multifocal contacts to provide clear vision at all distances. Additionally, surgical options are available for patients seeking a more permanent solution.

Slowing Myopia Progression in Children

Myopia (nearsightedness) is a growing concern, particularly among children, and it progresses as they grow. Early intervention is crucial to managing myopia progression and preventing severe complications, like increased risks of retinal detachment and glaucoma later in life.

At Prairie Eye Care, we are committed to addressing this issue head-on with advanced myopia management strategies. To slow myopia progression in children, we utilize innovative solutions like:

1. MiSight® 1 Day Lenses: These contact lenses are made for children and can slow down myopia progression by up to 59% in three years.

2. ZEISS MyoCare Lenses: These specialized eyeglass lenses incorporate specific optical designs to control eye growth, which is central to managing myopia progression.

3. Atropine Therapy: A medicinal treatment involving low-dose eye drops that has shown effectiveness in slowing myopia’s advancement.

We combine these treatments to create a customized management plan that best suits each child's needs, helping them maintain better vision quality and overall eye health.

Addressing Dry Eye with Precision

Millions suffer from dry eye syndrome, which occurs when there is insufficient lubrication and moisture on the eye's surface. We take a proactive approach to diagnosing and treating dry eye, using advanced in-office diagnostic tools to evaluate the condition comprehensively.

Our clinic has instruments that assess the quality and quantity of tear film, which is essential for pinpointing the specific type of dry eye affecting each patient. Based on these detailed assessments, we can tailor treatments that may range from prescription eye drops and lid hygiene products to in-office procedures that address underlying causes of dry eye.
