Optometry Physician FAQ

  • Is an Optometrist Considered a Physician?

    The term refers to a Doctor of Optometry (O.D.) licensed to examine eyes, diagnose conditions, prescribe corrective lenses, and manage eye disease. Optometrists are not M.D.s, but they hold a clinical doctoral degree and provide primary eye care. In Michigan, our optometrists can also prescribe therapeutic medications for eye conditions.

  • How Often Should I See an Optometry Physician?

    Most adults benefit from a comprehensive exam with an optometry physician every one to two years. Patients over 60 or those with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of eye disease may need annual visits to catch changes early.

  • What Can My Eye Exam Reveal About My Overall Health?

    Our doctors may identify indicators of diabetes, high blood pressure, or neurological changes through examination of retinal blood vessels and the optic nerve, making regular eye exams an important part of overall preventive health.

  • Do You Treat Eye Emergencies?

    Yes. We evaluate and treat urgent conditions including sudden vision changes, eye pain, foreign objects, corneal abrasions, and acute infections. Call 586-254-9620 for non-emergency inquiries.

  • Can I Bring My Child?

    Absolutely. We care for patients of all ages. Pediatric exams from our optometry physicians evaluate eye coordination, focusing ability, and visual development. Conditions like amblyopia can affect learning when undetected, so early exams matter.
