At MiVision Eye Care, we proudly offer advanced glaucoma diagnosis and treatment for patients from Oscoda County, including Mio, Comins, and Fairview. Led by Dr. Melanie Mihlstin, a Michigan-trained ophthalmologist, our team combines state-of-the-art imaging, gentle laser treatments, and individualized care to preserve your vision and protect your optic nerve health for life.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness. It damages the optic nerve, often due to elevated pressure inside the eye. Because glaucoma develops gradually and painlessly, most patients don’t notice vision loss until it becomes permanent.
Regular eye exams are essential to detect glaucoma early and prevent irreversible damage.
At MiVision, we use advanced testing to detect glaucoma even before symptoms appear:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): high-resolution scans of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer.
Visual Field Testing: measures peripheral vision and monitors for subtle changes.
Tonometry: accurately measures eye pressure in seconds.
These technologies allow Dr. Mihlstin to identify glaucoma early and customize a treatment plan specific to each patient’s needs.
Our goal is to lower intraocular pressure and protect your optic nerve through modern, evidence-based treatments:
Prescription Eye Drops: safely lower eye pressure and protect nerve fibers.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): an in-office laser that helps fluid drain naturally.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): performed during cataract surgery for long-term control and convenience.
MiVision combines advanced technology with Michigan hospitality, providing glaucoma care that’s both effective and compassionate.
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.
