At MiVision Eye Care, we provide advanced glaucoma evaluations and treatment for patients from Au Gres and Arenac County. Under the care of Dr. Melanie Mihlstin, a Michigan-trained ophthalmologist, our team combines precision technology with compassionate care to help protect your sight for years to come.
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, usually because of increased pressure inside the eye. It often develops silently and can lead to permanent vision loss if not detected early. Routine comprehensive eye exams are essential to identify the disease before symptoms appear.
At MiVision, we use the same state-of-the-art testing found in leading eye centers across Michigan:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – produces high-resolution images of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer.
Visual Field Testing – tracks subtle changes in your peripheral vision.
Tonometry – measures intraocular pressure safely and comfortably.
This technology allows Dr. Mihlstin to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages and tailor each patient’s care plan.
Our treatment goal is to lower intraocular pressure and protect your optic nerve. Options include:
Prescription Eye Drops to safely reduce pressure.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) – a gentle in-office laser that improves drainage and can lessen drop dependence.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS), often performed during cataract surgery, for long-term control.
MiVision blends advanced technology with individualized attention — ensuring lasting results and comfort.
Glaucoma is chronic, but with expert management, many patients preserve their vision long-term. We partner closely with you—monitoring progress and adapting treatments as needed, so sight remains protected.
