Michigan Eye Center is one of the area’s most respected
leaders in eye care excellence, offering total eye care for
everyone from infants to seniors.
In addition
to offering over fifty years of combined experience, our Board
Certified Physicians provide the quality care and personal
service you deserve.
Our physicians
evaluate your eyes in relation to the body as a whole. The
human eye is directly connected to the brain and is closely
related to other systems in the body. Good vision depends
not only on healthy eyes, but a healthy body as well.
Southwest
Michigan Eye Center encourages you to protect and preserve
your vision by having regular eye exams. If it has been more
than one year since your last exam, contact us today to schedule
your appointment with one of our eye care professionals.

WHAT
YOU CAN EXPECT
During
your initial visit to Southwest Michigan Eye Center, your
eyes will be examined thoroughly. Your vision is tested with
and without corrective lenses for both distance and near.
An external eye examination is also performed, including an
evaluation of your eyelids, pupils and eye muscles function.
You can also print the following forms prior to your first visit to expedite the check in process as a new patient:
Most appointments, such as an initial consultation or complete exam, take approximately 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Both eyes are dilated for complete exams, laser vision, and retinal evaluations. Dilatations cause sensitivity to light and an inability to see things clearly. Those receiving dilating drops should plan on having someone else drive them home to ensure a safe trip.
Through
quality care, personal service and advanced technology, we
strive to provide patients with the best care in the industry!
