At MiVision Eye Care, we proudly offer comprehensive glaucoma evaluations and treatment for patients from Rogers City and Presque Isle County. Under the care of Dr. Melanie Mihlstin, a Michigan-trained ophthalmologist, our team uses advanced diagnostic imaging and modern treatment options to help protect your sight and prevent permanent vision loss.

What is a Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that damages the optic nerve, typically caused by increased pressure within the eye. Because it develops slowly and without pain, most patients don’t notice symptoms until vision loss has already occurred.

Regular eye exams are essential for early detection — before damage becomes irreversible.

Advanced Diagnostic Technology

At MiVision, we use the latest diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma early and monitor your eye health over time:

  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): provides detailed images of the optic nerve and retinal layers.

  • Visual Field Testing: identifies changes in peripheral vision.

  • Tonometry: measures eye pressure quickly and comfortably.

These tools allow Dr. Mihlstin to diagnose glaucoma precisely and customize an effective treatment plan.

Glaucoma Treatment Options

Our treatment approach focuses on controlling eye pressure and protecting your optic nerve from further damage. Treatment options include:

  • Prescription Eye Drops: reduce intraocular pressure safely and effectively.

  • Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): a gentle, in-office laser that improves fluid drainage.

  • Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): performed during cataract surgery for long-term control.

MiVision combines advanced technology with compassionate care — giving every patient the time, attention, and expertise they deserve.
