Our Three Areas of Advanced Care

Advanced Dry Eye Treatment

Dry eye is one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated conditions in eye care—and it's a lot more complex than it sounds. If you're dealing with burning, irritation, watery eyes, blurry vision, redness, or that constant gritty feeling, there's usually something deeper going on: inflammation, meibomian gland dysfunction, or an unstable tear film that eye drops alone can't fix.

At Michigan Eye Consultants, we start by identifying the root cause. Then we build a treatment plan around it.

Our advanced dry eye therapies may include:

• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)—targets the inflammation and skin changes that contribute to gland dysfunction

• Radiofrequency—gently heats the eyelid tissue to help restore oil gland function

• Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)—supports healing and reduces inflammation at the cellular level

• NuLids—in-office lid hygiene and exfoliation for healthier eyelid margins

• Punctal plugs—simple, effective inserts that help retain your natural tears

• Amniotic membrane therapy—advanced healing support for more significant ocular surface conditions

If you've tried drops and still aren't getting relief, it's time for a different conversation—and we're here for it.

Specialty Lens Solutions

Sometimes standard glasses or contacts just don't cut it. We offer a curated set of specialty lens solutions for patients with specific visual needs.

Neurolens—You've probably been to the doctor for the headaches. Maybe more than once. Had the prescription updated. Tried the screen breaks. And every afternoon, right around the same time, it comes back anyway.

For a significant number of patients, the source isn't stress or screen time—it's a measurable misalignment between where your eyes point and where they need to be. Neurolens uses contoured prism technology to correct that gap. Patients who've spent years managing symptoms they assumed were just part of life describe the difference in ways that are hard to put into a brochure. An evaluation takes about 20 minutes. It's worth knowing.

Avulux Lenses—Migraine sufferers know the feeling the moment a room is too bright. The flicker of a fluorescent light. A screen at the wrong angle. A drive into the afternoon sun. Most people in that situation reach for sunglasses that weren't built for this—and get partial relief at best.

Avulux lenses are precision-engineered to filter the specific wavelengths of light most associated with migraine and photosensitivity—not all light, just the frequencies that do the damage. Color vision stays natural. The rest gets filtered. Patients describe environments they'd been avoiding for years becoming manageable again. We carry them in-office. Try a pair before you decide.

EnChroma Glasses—For patients with color vision deficiency, EnChroma lenses are designed to improve color discrimination in certain lighting conditions. Results vary from person to person, and our team can help you understand whether they're a good fit for your specific type of color vision deficiency.

Visionary Sequel—Most lenses correct where you look. Few are designed around how your eyes actually work together. If your eyes feel worn out by mid-afternoon, you've never quite adapted to progressives, or you keep adjusting your distance to find a comfortable focal point—the prescription probably isn't the problem. Your eye posture might be.

The Visionary Sequel, available in both Single Vision and Progressive designs, incorporates Convergence Boost Technology—engineered to support your eyes' natural alignment so they stop compensating and start performing. Patients who make the switch consistently describe less strain, steadier vision throughout the day, and comfort they didn't know was possible from a pair of glasses.

That's not a feature. That's what happens when your lenses finally stop working against your eyes.

Myopia Management with Essilor Stellest

Nearsightedness in children isn't just an inconvenience—it's a condition that tends to worsen over time, and higher levels of myopia increase the risk of serious eye health problems down the road. The earlier we address progression, the better.

Stellest lenses by Essilor are the first FDA-approved spectacle lenses specifically designed to slow the progression of myopia in children. They work by creating a signal around the central visual field that tells the eye to stop elongating—the key driver of worsening nearsightedness—while still providing clear, comfortable everyday vision.

This isn't a new frame style or a thinner lens material. It's a clinically validated intervention—one that gives parents of nearsighted children a real option beyond waiting and watching. If your child has had two or more prescription increases in the last few years, that trajectory matters. Come talk to us about what's possible.

Premium Eyewear Near Clawson

Most people have had a pair of glasses that never felt quite right. The progressive that gave them a headache for three weeks. The frames the staff picked in four minutes because there was a line. The lenses they were told were the best that fogged, scratched, or distorted within a month.

At Michigan Eye Consultants, every eyewear fitting is done by our optician with time—not a queue behind you. We carry luxury frames alongside premium lens options: progressive designs, digitally surfaced lenses, anti-reflective coatings, blue light management, and anti-fatigue lenses—all fitted around how you actually use your eyes. The difference shows up every time you put them on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What insurance does Michigan Eye Consultants accept?

We accept Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and most commercial medical insurance plans. While we do not participate in vision plans like VSP or EyeMed, we can pull your vision benefits and submit a reimbursement for you. We recommend calling us before your visit to confirm your specific benefits.

Where can I find advanced dry eye care near Clawson?
Michigan Eye Consultants offers advanced dry eye treatment for patients near Clawson experiencing burning, irritation, watery eyes, redness, blurry vision, or gritty sensations.

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include IPL, radiofrequency, Low-Level Light Therapy, NuLids, punctal plugs, or amniotic membrane therapy.

Why would a dry eye treatment plan include multiple therapies?

Dry eye rarely has a single cause. Inflammation, blocked oil glands, and surface damage often work together. Combining therapies like IPL, radiofrequency, and LLLT allows us to address each piece of the puzzle and build a more effective long-term plan.

Can Neurolens help with headaches and screen fatigue?

It can, for the right patient. If your symptoms are linked to binocular vision misalignment—which is more common than most people realize—Neurolens may offer meaningful relief. An evaluation with our team takes about 20 minutes and can help determine if it's a good fit.

Who are Avulux lenses designed for?

Avulux lenses are designed for patients with migraine-related light sensitivity. They filter specific wavelengths of light most associated with migraine triggers—not all light, just the frequencies that cause problems. Color vision stays natural. We carry them in-office so you can try them before you commit.

What is Stellest and why is it important for myopia management?

Stellest lenses by Essilor are the first FDA-approved spectacle lenses clinically shown to slow myopia progression in children. They're designed for kids whose nearsightedness is worsening over time—particularly those with two or more prescription increases in recent years. If that sounds like your child, it's worth a conversation.

Are EnChroma glasses available at Michigan Eye Consultants?

Yes. We offer EnChroma glasses for patients with color vision deficiency. Because individual results vary, our team will help you evaluate whether they're appropriate for your specific situation.

When should my child have their first eye exam?

We recommend children have their eyes examined before starting school, and then regularly thereafter—especially if you notice signs of squinting, eye rubbing, or complaints about seeing the board at school. Early exams can catch problems that affect learning and development.

When should I schedule a comprehensive eye exam?

Most adults benefit from regular comprehensive exams, typically every year. If you have diabetes, a family history of eye disease, or a current eye condition, more frequent visits may be recommended.
