At MiVision Eye Care, we proudly provide advanced glaucoma evaluations and treatment for patients throughout Alcona County — including Harrisville, Lincoln, Mikado, and Greenbush. Under the care of Dr. Melanie Mihlstin, a Michigan-trained ophthalmologist, our team uses the latest technology to detect glaucoma early and protect your vision for years to come.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that cause damage to the optic nerve, often from increased eye pressure. It develops slowly and painlessly, which is why many people don’t notice symptoms until permanent vision loss has already occurred.
Routine eye exams are essential for early detection and prevention of irreversible damage.
Though early glaucoma is often symptom-free, watch for signs such as:
Tunnel vision
Flashes or halos
Eye pain
If you experience sudden eye pain or vision loss, call us immediately for same-day care.
We tailor treatment to your needs, focusing on lowering eye pressure to protect your optic nerve:
Pressure-lowering medicated drops
In-office laser treatment
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
At MiVision, we use the same high-tech equipment found in leading eye centers across Michigan, including:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) — provides detailed images of the optic nerve and retinal layers.
Visual Field Testing — maps peripheral vision and tracks subtle changes over time.
Tonometry — measures intraocular pressure quickly and comfortably.
These tools allow us to diagnose glaucoma early and monitor progression with precision.
We welcome glaucoma patients from every corner of Alcona County and neighboring communities. Whether you live along Lake Huron or inland near M-72, MiVision provides trusted, Michigan-trained ophthalmic care close to home.

Glaucoma cannot be cured, but treatment can control eye pressure and slow vision loss.
MIGS stands for Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery. It uses tiny incisions to reduce pressure safely, with quicker recovery than traditional surgery.
Most patients with glaucoma need ongoing management. We monitor your eye health regularly and adjust treatment as needed.
