Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve — often due to increased pressure inside the eye. It develops slowly and without pain, making routine eye exams essential for early detection.
If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss that cannot be restored.
At MiVision, we use modern diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma early and monitor its progression, including:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – provides high-definition scans of the optic nerve and retinal layers.
Visual Field Testing – measures peripheral vision and detects small changes over time.
Tonometry – quickly and comfortably measures intraocular pressure.
Our technology allows Dr. Mihlstin to design customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Our goal is to lower eye pressure, preserve optic nerve health, and maintain clear vision using a combination of modern therapies:
Prescription Eye Drops – reduce intraocular pressure safely and effectively.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) – an in-office laser procedure that helps fluid drain naturally.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) – often performed during cataract surgery to enhance long-term control.
At MiVision, patients benefit from personalized care guided by advanced diagnostics and Michigan-based expertise.
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.
