Services
Routine Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams utilize advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision health and detect early signs of ocular disease. These evaluations include precise measurements for corrective lenses, binocular vision assessments, and screenings for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Patients benefit from personalized consultations explaining their eye health status and treatment recommendations.
Dry Eye Treatment
Advanced dry eye management combines cutting-edge treatments like IPL therapy with personalized care plans. Our optometrists use diagnostic tools to identify underlying causes and implement solutions including amniotic membranes, punctal plugs, and customized lubrication regimens. The upcoming Dry Eye Spa at Shelby Township will offer specialized therapeutic environments for enhanced treatment efficacy.
Specialty Contact Lenses
Custom contact lens fittings address complex vision needs through scleral, hybrid, and RGP lenses. Our specialists manage challenging cases including keratoconus and post-surgical corneal irregularities. The service includes comprehensive evaluations to determine optimal lens parameters and ongoing adjustments to ensure comfort and visual acuity.
Myopia Management
Evidence-based myopia control programs utilize Ortho-K lenses, MiSight 1 Day contacts, and atropine therapy to slow nearsightedness progression in children. Treatment plans incorporate regular monitoring of axial length and refractive changes, with parental education about environmental factors affecting myopia development.
Emergency Eye Care
Urgent eye care services address sudden vision changes, foreign body removal, and chemical exposure incidents. Our doctors provide immediate diagnostic assessments followed by appropriate interventions to preserve vision. The practice maintains protocols for rapid patient triage and access to specialist networks for complex cases requiring surgical intervention.

I loved this place when it was Advanced Vison and I felt like I always got treated fairly with them and my VSP insurance. Seemed like a small family business. I usually got my eye exam and a set of glasses ( Oakley or Nike etc with transitions lenses) for about $30-40 total out of pocket with $10 of that being a copay for the eye exam. I do pay a fair amount for the eye insurance though but all in all I felt it was a wash and that I was using up my insurance benifit. I have been teliworking this year since March and originally started going to this location because it was close to my employer

I got glasses from them years ago. The frames cracked and the lenses fell out. The glasses were never dropped.I took them back and they stated they didn't have frames to fit the glasses anymore
9 months and they fell apart. No refunds, they just blew me off. Stay away from this place.

Walked out this morning before I even had a chance to see the doctor. The assistant is the older woman with horrible teeth. Rough around the edges and has an ATTITUDE with me every time I interact with her.
Today, I was nervous about the glaucoma test and she told me that I could NOT have an eye exam with the doctor if I did not let her perform the glaucoma test. When I said, "...then I guess we're done here", she changed her tune and said that the doctor could talk to me about taking the glaucoma test. Too late for bullying and intimidation. I told her to forget it. I was here three years ago

I arrived just minutes before my 6:30 pm appointment, with my 1 yr old in tow. They were ready for me already, so they got me right in to be measured, tested and examined. This was my first time there, so the doctor asked for my history. Dr. Lichota was very thorough in explaining things to me as we were progressing through the appointment. He kindly and calmly put up with my toddler's wiggles on my lap while trying do my examination. He asked for my preferences in regards to contacts and offered up suggestions. Overall I was super pleased with the exam. Then the front desk ladies were patient
