At MiVision, we provide glaucoma exams and treatment for patients in Shields, MI, combining advanced technology with compassionate care.
Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that damages the optic nerve — often due to elevated pressure inside the eye. Because it develops slowly and without pain, many people don’t realize they have it until vision loss occurs.
Routine eye exams are the best way to detect glaucoma early and protect your vision before permanent damage happens.
At MiVision, we use cutting-edge tools to detect and monitor glaucoma with precision:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): provides detailed cross-sectional images of the optic nerve.
Visual Field Testing: evaluates peripheral vision and tracks subtle changes over time.
Tonometry: measures intraocular pressure safely and comfortably.
These technologies help Dr. Mihlstin diagnose glaucoma early and develop a customized treatment plan for long-term vision preservation.
Our approach focuses on lowering eye pressure and preventing further optic nerve damage using the latest treatments available:
Prescription Eye Drops – reduce intraocular pressure effectively.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) – a quick, in-office laser that improves fluid drainage and lowers pressure.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) – performed during cataract surgery for lasting pressure control.
MiVision provides personalized care and advanced solutions for patients across Northern Michigan
