At MiVision Eye Care, we provide advanced glaucoma diagnosis and treatment for patients from Freeland and the Great Lakes Bay Region. Led by Dr. Melanie Mihlstin, a Michigan-trained ophthalmologist, our team combines compassionate, patient-focused care with cutting-edge diagnostic technology to help you maintain clear, healthy vision for life.
Because glaucoma often develops without early symptoms, routine eye exams are the best way to detect it before irreversible damage occurs.
Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure. Left untreated, it can lead to irreversible vision loss. Regular exams with an eye doctor are key to catching it early.
Learn more about our comprehensive eye exams to see how MiVision can monitor your eye health and catch glaucoma in its earliest stages.
Though early glaucoma is often symptom-free, watch for signs such as:
Gradual vision loss
Eye pressure or pain
Halos or glare
We tailor treatment to your needs, focusing on lowering eye pressure to protect your optic nerve:
Presciption eye drops
Laser treatment
