Why Choose Fraser Optical for Urgent Eye Care in Sterling Heights?

An independent optometry practice often means faster access and more personal attention than a large health system. Fraser Optical has been caring for Macomb County families since 1964.

Our optometrists know their patients, which means faster triage and a more accurate diagnosis. Meet our doctors to learn more about the team ready to see you.

Our Sterling Heights office sits on 15 Mile Road, easy to reach from Schoenherr, Dequindre, and Mound Roads. Patients from Warren and Utica can also reach us along M-53, without a large hospital campus or crowded waiting room.

  • Chemical or debris exposure from work, yard care, or an accident.
  • A scratched cornea from a contact lens, fingernail, or airborne particle.
  • Eye trauma from a direct impact or injury.
